    Apparently the original supplier for Huy Fong (Underwood Farms) makes their own version now, and it’s how Huy Fong used to taste.

      last I checked it was three times the price, and most people online were saying it was fine but still not up to par with the original. do you personally rate it highly? I haven’t tried it

        Oh damn, I haven’t tried it because I have so much hot sauce that I’m on a no buy. I still have a bottle of the Huy Fong new stuff my mom bought without realizing it wasn’t as good, but I was planning to try the Underwood one as soon as I run out.

          yeah I’ve got a bottle of the new stuff. it’s definitely much lighter in color, and the flavor lacks body, but I assume keeping it in the back of my fridge for about a year should help that

        Costco sometimes has a 2 pack for around $10. Probably worth it.

        My vote is sky valley. Both their red and green sirachi are amazingly. Really bright and solidly hot while still wellbeing balanced. Also at Costco, but it may be regional.

      If any of my nearby supermarkets carried it I’d definitely give this one a go. Not sure that I want to commit to buying multiple bottles online.
