Packaging:
The 12 ounce mason style jars are pleasantly labeled and boast 100% fire roasted peppers. The colorful labeling makes you want to look and see what it is. The packaging is color-coordinated down to the golden colored lid.

Packaging Score: 17/20

Aroma:
The smell of fresh roasted peppers and garlic is enticing to say the least. A hint of a smoke gains an instant interest.

Aroma Score: 16/20

Texture:
The chunky texture of the salsa reveals pieces of green and red bell pepper in a sauce that is dark red/green in color.

Texture Score: 16/20

Taste:
The first thing that hits your taste buds is the roasted pepper and a hint of garlic. The balsamic vinegar is not overpowering and is supportive of the overall good taste. Tomatoes are readily visible in the salsa and fits well in this mixture although they are not one of the major taste competitors.

Taste Score: 17/20

Aftertaste:
The mild salsa has a slight hint of heat but you have to think about it to understand the top back of the palate has a warm feeling. The medium adds a little more heat but not bad at all.
Aftertaste Score: 16/20

Overall Score: 82/100

Summary:
While I am not a big fan of fire roasted delicacies, this salsa has a very pleasant taste whether eaten alone right out of the jar or with warm tortilla chips. My wife really likes this salsa. One of the better store bought salsas I have tried.
