Hot Sauce
Fiery and tangy, hot sauce ignites the palate with its sharp, vinegary burst that can range from pleasantly piquant to incendiary. It's the ultimate flavor enhancer for any savory dish.
Where it comes from
Rooted in Caribbean and Latin American traditions, hot sauce has evolved into countless regional varieties, with the first commercially bottled version appearing in the U.S. in the mid-19th century.
In the kitchen
A potent addition that lifts dishes with its heat and acidity, hot sauce is essential for marinating, dipping, or drizzling over wings, tacos, and grilled meats.
Across cuisines
Hot sauce is the American table condiment that crosses regional lines — Frank's RedHot for Buffalo wings, Tabasco for oysters and the Cajun pantry, Crystal for fried chicken in the Deep South, Cholula for tacos in the Southwest. Each brand maps to a regional cuisine; the country produces hundreds of varieties.
