What it is
This is a prepared horseradish product known for its intense heat and pungent flavor. It is made from freshly grated horseradish root, vinegar, and salt.

It is a staple for those who enjoy a strong kick in their meals.

To best enjoy its potent flavor, use this horseradish sparingly at first and add more to taste. It can be served directly from the jar as a condiment alongside roast beef, prime rib, or corned beef.

Remember that its heat can intensify over time, so adjust accordingly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to milder horseradish preparations, this 'extra hot' version offers a more immediate and pronounced fiery sensation.
