What is hot sauce?

Hot sauce is a bold, spicy condiment, typically made by blending chilli peppers with vinegar, salt, and spices. Its flavour shifts from place to place – Mexican chipotle sauces offer a deep, smoky richness, while vinegar-based styles from the American South deliver a sharper, tangier kick.

Fancy trying something new? Step into the “fricy” trend, where heat meets sweetness in vibrant, unexpected ways. Think zesty margaritas with a jalapeño twist, pizzas topped with pineapple, chilli and a drizzle of honey, or pork tacos lifted by bursts of sweet, caramelised fruit. It’s a playful balance of fire and freshness—bold, bright, and irresistibly moreish.

For an easy way in (and a seriously delicious one), meet our Flamin’ Fruit Hawwwt Sauce range below.
