I actually put his in a lineup with others when I got in a chili oil craze.

And while it definitely is good quality, it isn't mind blowing. And I personally prefer other brands instead! It's also, to my taste, much more Americanized. Much more refined sugar and using a different less complex method for the umami.

It's still delicious, but I personally won't be getting it again.

To be fair he is American and primarily marketing to an American(ized) audience. I’m personally a big fan of Americanization of foods. I’ve had dozens of “authentic” Mexican tacos and I love them - they’re fantastic things. I had a GF with an obese white trash mom who made an Americanized version of tacos which to my taste was incredible. Took the real parts and amplified certain things to the local palette. Like best tacos ever and just as authentic relatively.

It tastes burnt to me.
