Herb’n Pantry hot sauces share as many of the personalities as the cuisines that inspired them. No matter the menu, our sauces bring the Heat from the Street right to your plate. Drizzle on eggs, your favorite grab-n-go lunch, or blend into a marinade to give your food life.
There are so many hot sauces out there in the marketplace, literally thousands of different brands with many different personalities behind them. The products out there in the marketplace land primarily in three buckets:
In the center of the hot sauce spectrum are the big players, the brands that have been the torchbearers for the category. They have names you know like tabasco, cholula, frank’s red hot, crystal… the sauces you've seen in refrigerator doors for decades. But using them for everything doesn't take into account the different foods, different flavors, the different cuisines that you cook. I mean, you don't make chicken wings or tacos seven nights a week, do you?
At one end of center are boring, unimaginative sauces we’ve all seen before, in flavors like mango-habanero for example (which was innovative in 1995). These sauces offer nothing in the way of generating any excitement, rather they perpetuate the rhythm of lunches and dinners that are the same old thing, a flavor rut without an end in sight.
At the other end are what I’ll call the incendiaries, the kind of sauces that use the hottest chilies on the planet, making eating them almost like a contest to see if you’re tough enough to take it. These peppers have names like Carolina Reaper (the world’s hottest), ghost peppers, scorpion peppers... These sauces are so hot as to overwhelm the taste of whatever they’re being used on.
In my opinion, there is plenty of room for new players to fill holes in the market, sauces that bring in innovative flavors and accent and complement foods without overwhelming their flavors. Herb’n Pantry works in that realm, using chilies and flavor profiles that excite the palate and bringing a worldly awareness while doing it. And Herb’n Pantry sauces can hit the table every night because there is one that will work with the different foods you eat- one for your tacos and burritos, another for your pizza and lasagna, and so on. Check them out and you'll find more than one that lights your fire.
Dive in, be bold and savor every drop, because everything tastes better with a little hot sauce.
