9-24-10 Update..........
The Hot Zone Online (www.thehotzoneonline) was gracious enough to review our Best-Selling Salsa (full unedited review below).
We're very proud of its deliciousness and hope it positively represents our Rock-N-Roll City of Cleveland, OH!
Next stop on the review train! Cleveland, Ohio! All aboard! That’s
right, this latest review is a product from my very own home town, the
“Mistake on The Lake”, “The Land of Cleve”, “the Home of Rock and Roll”,
“C-town”, Cleveland, Ohio! Cowboy George and Bonnie Bok of Blaze Gourmet
sold me this little salsa called “Wild Mustang” which is a Chipotle
Black Bean and Corn Salsa. I do so love all of those flavors so let’s
see how these two incorporated them into the salsa. Blaze Gourmet: Wild Mustang Salsa Ingredients: Tomatoes, black beans, onion, corn, turbinado sugar, vinegar, Jalapenos, garlic, Chipotle Chiles, salt, spices.
Like always, I love Blaze’s artsy/trippy/attention grabbing labels. I
especially love how he has the Cleveland skyline in the background. Now
onto the appearance of the salsa. This is definitely a thick salsa. You
can pull out a spoonful and nothing drips off the spoon. The chunks of
ingredients are large and all identifiable but not to the point of
distraction. They all meld into a community. A community of balance and
visual pleasure. This is interesting, a lot of salsa ingredients play second fiddle to
the tomatoes where this one, a lot of the flavors are first THEN the
tomatoes hit. Different and unexpected but a pleasant surprise! Right up
front is that smokey, chipotle flavor, followed by a hit of corn and
black bean. So far, all three flavors touted on the label have hit in
almost the same order they are emphasized on the label, no false
advertisement there! After that the garlic comes in to join up with the chipotles to make
an awesome, almost roasted salsa like taste. Finally the tomatoes hit
with the onions coming in after that and a hint of the turbundo sugar
pairs quite well with the tomato. Following that up is the Jalapenos
then it closes up with a slight cilantro/basil/greenness with just a
hint of salt. As one might imagine for a Jalapeno and Chipotle based salsa, the
heat is a high end mild to low end medium. It’s there, enough so that it
got my nose running just slightly, but not enough that I’d say it got
me buzzing on the heat. Alls said and done, this salsa is fantastic. It’s got all the right
flavor combos, its inventive in the emphasis of said flavors, it
represents it’s home town well, and it’s got a little burn to it that
makes you keep coming back for more! My hat’s off to Blaze Gourmet,
nicely done. Taste: 10, Heat: 3.696
