Joining the Louisiana Style lineup, Creole Maple is a new hot sauce from Heartbeat Hot Sauce and mixed martial artist Dustin Poirier. This unique product boasts “all of the ingredients of a classic sauce” but with extra flair from Creole seasoning and Ontario maple syrup.
A whole host of spicy peppers can be found in this hot sauce, including aged cayenne peppers at the base, plus chipotle peppers, red habanero and Smokin' Ed's ghost peppers. United with Canadian maple syrup, plus traditional herbs and spices from Cajun cooking, this hot sauce uniquely enhances the flavor of the peppers.
This third addition to Poirier’s Louisiana Style lineup is said to sit between the original Louisiana Style and the KO edition, although the brand advises it's not for the faint of heart.
