Perfect
I am very happy with this sauce. I grow my own habanero peppers along with several other varieties. The habaneros I grow are sparse getting only a handful each season (which is enough for me to use as fresh) but I love the strong earthy & different flavor than anything else I've tasted. I chop it up raw & real small and use it in Chili and other dishes where I want heat and flavor. I have purchased habanero powder and it's spicy with little to no habanero flavor. I dried out a bunch my wife bought for me last year and ground it up (outside) and the flavor was better & heat was there too. But I wanted to find something that gave me the strong habanero flavor that I could use rear around. I searched for habanero oil and found this. It's got great habanero flavor and like everyone else said, brings the heat. If you like habanero flavor, this is 98% just like fresh. The other thing is fresh habaneros are inconsistent regarding heat. I'll be able to learn how much of this sauce to use and not be surprised with the occasional super spicy peppers.

The Akabanga Bang
As a maker and connoisseur of peppers and pepper sauces, I was curious to actually taste the truth behind the story. At first, I was not moved by the oil in its first true test at a bar with some wings. To be fair, I was setting the comparison bar against my own creations. So yes, I was a little disappointed after the first try. A second try, using the same generous or equivalent amount to test, my taste buds were happier. And on that occasion, the little dispenser was instantly recognizable by another bar patron who had lived in Sweden and was given a bottle by a colleague who had traveled to Rwanda! The little dispenser and its contents has grown on me in subsequent use. Although it lacks the depth and complexity of full flavor, it does deliver a nice subtle heat to bring more kick to already prepared foods. I have also tried adding it to my cooking, but did not get the results I desired. As an oil, it does not stand up to the heat of cooking and loses some of it's own fire in the process, even though hints remain. So if you are looking for added kick to your prepared food, Akabanga will add its bang!

It smells. I hate it.
I purchased this Akabanga chili oil, like many other people did, after watching Kristen Bell mention it on "The Hot Ones". I'm an avid lover of spicy foods, so I'm always looking for good hot sauces or condiments to use for adding to my food to spice things up.I've seen that people say this chili oil from Rwanda has potential to beat Huy Fong's Sriracha in terms of popularity. Personally, I dislike that particular hot sauce. It's not spicy at all (to me), and it tastes overwhelmingly of vinegar, making it more sour than spicy.I'm looking for a hot sauce that is both delicious and can bring the heat, but so far, I've not been successful. Most hot sauces taste like foul junk, only meant to kill your taste buds and digestive tract, and I don't want that, because I want be able to actually enjoy my food. There's no point of drowning out yummy food with disgusting fiery motor oil.Now, when I received this chili oil, I didn't have my hopes up. Usually whenever people recommend a hot sauce, it never ends up tasting good, perhaps because everyone has a different preferred taste, or they're just chili heads. What other people like may not be for you. Yet I keep trying out these horrible sauces.The bottle was hard to open, and I didn't have an awl, so I used a sharp knife to puncture the top of the lid. When I did, oh my goodness, I could smell the pungent odor of this oil, and I thought I was going to retch. It smells like bitter gasoline, my excitement just died, and my mouth turned to ashes. I didn't feel like putting any of this on my food.But, maybe it tastes better than it smells? So I put four drops of this horrendous-smelling oil in my ramen, and it instantly killed the smell of my food, and now the entire bowl smelled faintly of gasoline. Oh dear, I was going to have to eat this with my nostrils pinched shut.I hesitantly took a bite. I didn't taste any difference between the original taste of the ramen vs. with the Akabanga oil added. I took a couple more bites. Okay, I tasted some slight tingling on my tongue. I finished the bowl of noodles. Nothing remarkable. It had no flavor profile, but that might be a good thing, since the smell was awful. The heat it brought was almost non-existent. That's it?I wasted my money buying a smelly bottle of unremarkable rancid chili oil? Yuck. Now I'm just tempted to throw this BS out my window and never see it again.A few hours later, I felt a sharp pain in my gut. Actually, I hadn't been feeling so good after eating my bowl of ramen with the Akabanga added, it felt like something insidious was brewing in my stomach. Then it manifested with full force later on, and I spent a good hour and a half on my porcelain throne.I'm not touching this chili oil ever again. It's horrible-smelling, not spicy, not flavorful, and almost lethal to my bowels.
