Hot stuff

The cultivation of chili peppers in Mexico dates back to at least 3500 B.C. Once they came to the
Old World, their flavors were welcomed quickly in spice-loving countries, and today it’s impossible to imagine numerous global cuisines without chili peppers. Keeping several sauce styles on hand is an easy way to add authenticity to your recipes and expand your palate. All our hot sauces are free of artificial preservatives, flavorings or colorings — and one great one is sodium-free, too.

Annie Chun’s Go-chu-jang Sauce

With depth from cultured soybeans and sesame oil, this sauce is a bit thinner than traditional gochujang pastes but has a similar richly seasoned, complex heat.

Sky Valley Sriracha Sauce

Tangy from a strong mix of vinegar and chili peppers, this bright sauce can be used as a dipper for seafood, dumplings or egg rolls, or swirled easily into marinades.

Mustapha’s Harissa

Blended from Agadir and bell peppers, preserved lemons, garlic, spices and tomatoes, this traditional sauce is equally suitable for slow-cooked stews or a fresh, vibrant salad dressing.

Brother Bru-Bru’s Original African Hot Pepper Sauce

Much Caribbean food is seasoned with a light touch, relying on a tabletop condiment for heat. This hot pepper sauce packs a serious punch — and unlike almost all other hot sauces, it’s sodium free.

Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce and Bonache Hatch

From tacos to burritos to huevos rancheros, Mexican food is now a staple across the U.S. For the perfect finishing touch, try these two exceptional hot sauces; the fiery habanero or the mild, fruity Hatch pepper sauce.
