Our 0-10 heat level scale is the honest version of what you see on most bottles. Level 0 means zero heat. Level 10 means you've been warned.

Oh My Garlic sits at Level 0, a deeply savory, garlic-forward sauce that has genuinely nothing to do with Scoville and everything to do with flavor. Garlic Reaper brings Carolina Reaper depth; Zombie Apocalypse and Son of Zombie are for people who mean it.

If you want to work your way up to the best hot sauces in this collection or just find your permanent spot on the scale, the heat numbers are there to help. Most people land somewhere around medium heat and are perfectly happy staying there.

We use real peppers: habanero, jalapeño, Carolina Reaper, ghost pepper, and more, each one chosen because it brings something real to the flavor profile.

You can taste the difference. Habanero hot sauce built with real habanero peppers has a fruity, tangy heat that extracts simply cannot replicate. The same goes for our chipotle-based sauces, our jalapeno-based sauces, and anything else in the lineup…the pepper is the point.

Hot sauce goes on more foods than you think. Obviously tacos, wings, and eggs. Less obviously: grilled cheese, burritos, ramen, roasted vegetables, and anything that needs a little personality.

Our sweeter, fruit-forward sauces are built for glazing and grilling, the kind of BBQ application where a tangy kick and a little sweetness do more work than straight heat. The super hot bottles are for cooking applications where a few drops are all you need.

The short answer: pick based on flavor profile first, heat level second. That’s how we built them, and that’s how they work best on your taste buds.

We've been making original hot sauce in Pennsylvania since 2005, back when small-batch and craft weren't marketing terms; they were just how you made things when you cared about what went in the bottle.

No preservatives, no artificial flavors, and nothing that sounds like a chemistry exam. The ingredient list reads the way it should.
