Newly established Californian brand Dabka has launched its signature Chili Sauce inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean.
The premium chilli sauce was founded by Danish entrepreneur Chris Flagstad, who upon his move to Los Angeles, was inspired to recreate a sophisticated version of his favourite chilli sauce.
Flagstad spent over a year developing and product testing the sauce, designed to enhance the complementary existing flavours of meals without masking them. He also aims to encourage creativity in the kitchen.
“We wanted the sauce to have the ultimate taste with a smooth consistency, pleasing heat levels and the perfect balance between acid and sweetness, salt and bitterness, and, of course, umami,” said Dabka founder & CEO Chris Flagstad.
The sauce’s taste and Middle Eastern heat is made with Roma tomatoes, Californian sun-dried tomatoes, onion and garlic, cumin spice and a moderate amount of ghost peppers.
Flagstad added: “My favourite ways to use Dabka are with grilled vegetables, falafel, gyro’s, flatbread and tomato salad – basically anything you would eat hummus and pesto with – that plus some heat. I love to spice up my favourite dishes, like pasta, eggs, or avocado toast, with it or simply just dip chips in in to give them an extra kick of flavour.”
Dakba Chilli Sauce is available on Amazon and in select specialty stores across the US.
Following the launch of its chili sauce, the brand plans to diversify its product portfolio and expand into other markets.
