Zab's tribute to how traditional datil pepper sauces are made, where the peppers are grown. A sweeter heat with the same signature datil pepper slow burn! Zab's recommends a dab (or a few!) on breakfast burritos, avocado toast, sandwiches, eggs, hash browns, or a slice of pizza. We also recommend using Zab's St. Augustine Style as a marinade for meats, a glaze for wings, a "simmer sauce" for veggies (try it out with sautéed onions!) or mixed into your favorite aioli to give it a slow-burning upgrade.
Made in the United States
More About the Maker:
Enjoy the Slow Burn: Zab’s hot sauces are made to celebrate the one-of-a-kind history and heat of the rare Datil Pepper. Despite mysterious origins, Datil Peppers have been grown for 200+ years in St. Augustine, Florida, where they are beloved for their unique "Slow Burn" and naturally sweet heat.
A new (but old) ingredient you most likely didn’t know you were missing. Despite mysterious origins, it has been a culinary staple and centerpiece of old Florida cuisine for 200+ years. We suspect the datil originated in the caribbean, and was brought to Florida in the late 1700’s/early 1800’s, where it became a local treasure, and evolved over time into the unique pepper it is today. Zab's datil peppers are grown with care on a small farm just outside St. Augustine.
Datil peppers are listed under the Slow Food Foundation’s Ark of Taste - a database of heirloom and artisanal foods connected to a particular place or heritage that are at risk of disappearing. Zab's mission is to support producers and share our love for these special peppers.
