What kinds of chillies are used in your hot sauces?Updated 11 hours ago

At Sauce Shop, we use a few different chillies for our hot sauces. We aren't trying to make the hottest sauces on the planet, so you won't find any Carolina Reapers or Naga Vipers around here. We use chillies because of their flavour profile.

Most of our sauces feature jalapeños, one of the most popular chillies in the world. Once fermented, they bring lots of fresh, fruity and tangy flavours. We also use a lot of habaneros, another really popular chilli. You'll find these in Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce and Piri Piri. These are hotter, fruitier and more citrusy than jalapeños.

We've switched things up with our chilli jams. Our Scotch Bonnet Chilli Jam features scotch bonnet, and our Amarillo Chilli Jam uses mild, mellow aji amarillo chillies.

All of the sauces in this range feature our signature fermented chillies. We take perfectly ripened chillies, salt them, and let them age for 2-4 weeks, unlocking all of their complex, fruity layers of flavour.
