About Piquant sauce

Piquant sauce is a broad name for a sauce with a sharp, lively, or pungent flavour. It does not identify a fixed recipe or establish which ingredients provide that character; products under this name can vary in seasoning, thickness, colour, and intensity.

It may be served as a condiment or incorporated into prepared foods. Depending on formulation, it may be pourable or thicker, smooth or textured, and mild or strongly flavoured. The label alone does not justify assigning a particular cuisine, ingredient list, or level of heat.
