Mexican-Style Habanero Hot Sauce – Golden Chile Winner | Fat Cat Gourmet

South of the Border heat with citrus, apricot, and savory depth — the orange habanero the way it was always meant to taste.

Mexican-Style Habanero Hot Sauce – Golden Chile Award Winner

Fat Cat Gourmet's Mexican-Style Habanero Hot Sauce takes a decidedly Mexican approach to the orange habanero — focusing on the pepper's bright, fruity flavor as much as its heat. This is still darned hot stuff, but it's also savory and sweet, letting you fully appreciate the citrus and apricot notes that make the habanero one of the most complex peppers in the world.

Winner of the Golden Chile (1st Place) at the 2014 Fiery Foods Challenge for Habanero Sauce — the most prestigious hot sauce competition in the industry.
