We were in town for a long weekend and discovered the Key Lime and Hot Stuff store on Treasury Street after seeing an ad on Page 19 of the St. Augustine Sightseeing Map & Guide. I was intrigued with Chocolate-Dipped Key Lime Pie on a Stick; my husband is a fan of hot sauces. A marriage made in heaven to find one store that offers two very different products in one location especially on a blistering hot day in the city.
This is kind of a duplex store: one side is devoted to sauces,
the other to key lime products, infused oils and vinegars, accessories, wines, jams, jellies, spices, dressings, rubs, pickles, Tortuga Rum Cakes, citrus cookies, whole bean island coffee, marinades, seasonings and wine under the broad banner of "Gourmet Specialty Foods."
If you are into sauces and peppers, this is the place for you. The store boasts " the largest selection of HOT sauces in St. Augustine and the best selection of imported aged balsamic olive oil and vinegar" and is home of the datil pepper. You can also grab a beer while taste testing the sauces.
The datil pepper was new to us and we learned that it is a green to yellowish aromatic hot pepper mainly produced and grown in St. Augustine. A home-grown pepper! It's an extra hot chili (100,000 to 300,000 on the Scoville scale) and similar to a habanero with a sweet, fruity flavor. It is believed that indentured servants from Minorca, Spain introduced the seeds to the city in the 1800's.
If hot sauces aren't your thing, then don't miss the Key Lime Pie on a Stick flown in from Key West from Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe. This delectable 3.5 oz. Belgian chocolate-dipped treat was worth the walk to discover the store. Addictive? Yes.
This is a very cool shop (literally) filled with everything hot, spicy and sweet. Be sure to stop by on your next trip to St. Augustine.

我们在镇上度过了一个长周末,在圣奥古斯丁观光地图和指南第 19 页看到一则广告后,发现了位于 Treasury Street 的 Key Lime and Hot Stuff 商店。我对巧克力蘸酸橙派很感兴趣;我的丈夫是辣酱的粉丝。在炎热的城市天气里,找到一家能在同一地点提供两种截然不同产品的商店,真是天作之合。
这是一家复式商店:一边专门经营酱汁,
另一边经营酸橙产品、浸泡油和醋、配件、葡萄酒、果酱、果冻、香料、调味品、擦剂、泡菜、Tortuga 朗姆酒蛋糕、柑橘饼干、全豆岛咖啡、腌料、调味品和葡萄酒,大标题是“美食特色食品”。
如果您喜欢酱汁和辣椒,这里就是您的最佳选择。这家商店拥有“圣奥古斯丁最大的辣酱选择和最好的进口陈年香醋橄榄油和醋”,并且是达蒂尔辣椒的故乡。您还可以一边品尝酱汁一边喝啤酒。
达蒂尔辣椒对我们来说是新发现的,我们了解到它是一种绿色到黄色的芳香辣椒,主要在圣奥古斯丁生产和种植。自家种植的辣椒!它是一种超辣辣椒(斯科维尔辣度为 100,000 到 300,000),类似于哈瓦那辣椒,具有甜味和果味。据信,西班牙梅诺卡岛的契约佣工在 19 世纪将种子带到了这座城市。
如果您不喜欢辣酱,那么千万不要错过 Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe 从基韦斯特空运过来的 Key Lime Pie on a Stick。这款美味的 3.5 盎司辣椒。比利时巧克力蘸料值得您步行去探索这家商店。上瘾吗?是的。
这是一家非常酷的商店(字面意思),里面摆满了各种热辣的、甜的。下次去圣奥古斯丁时一定要来这里看看。
