“This sauce is so good! So far I’ve used it on wings, salmon, and Shepard’s Pie... sounds weird but it was the perfect hot sauce for the dish! Perfect spice level”

“My husband and I use this sauce a lot! We’ve reordered this same one twice already. It has a good kick of heat. It’s very versatile... a fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner sauce. The flavor is great and has just the right amount of heat and tang. I’ll keep buying this sauce as long as they make it.”

“This is my new favorite. I know it's not as funky as some other sauces, not as super hot as others, but the balance of heat, flavor, sweet, and just a tad sour seems to be perfect. Chunky but not too much so, fiery red and beautiful, I've put this on chicken sandwiches, pasta, chili, burgers, eggs, various thai and chinese dishes, tater tots (that's right), bean dishes and straight on triscuits. Haven't tried it on pancakes but I could see it working there as well. Versatile. Delicious. Solid. The heat builds up as you go on, so best not be cocky with it. Pricey tho.”

“This is the definition of hot sauce. No frills, just nice heat and flavor. Sure there are better sauces, and sauces with more flavor or more heat, but this strikes the balance between just enough flavor that shines and enough heat that makes you notice. I am biased toward red hot sauces and the general flavor profile they offer; habaneros are a favorite of mine. This is 7/10 heat, spot on. This sauce goes well with most anything: pizza, thai food, plant based sausages, quesadillas.”

“We purchased 15 different hot sauces to have our own work version of hot ones at our office for a company event. We purchased a range from 1/10 to 11/10 so everyone could try something in their Range. We are a small office (7 employees) and half of them made it all the way to the end. the remainder made it at least half the way through. Everyone had fun!”

“Very good Red Habanero sauce that has a nice kick but not overly hot. Has a perfect consistency and is not runny or too thick. Probably a 6-7 heat wise.”
