Enjoying Food With Private Label Hot Sauce

By Janelle Burnett


There are many condiments on the market that people can try when cooking. Some of these ranges from mellow to sweet, or are savory but many like to use hot or spicy condiments with their food. This is why private label hot sauce is a popular choice to flavor many dishes.

For the person who is curious, there are many different varieties from which to choose. People who like a little bit of flavor but not too much heat, those made with green Anaheim chilies are best. Others who like some heat but in combination with a sweet or smoky flavor, those with an Ancho or chipotle pepper are recommended.

The hottest hot sauce is often a fun topic to debate and discuss. Some claim that sauces made mostly with jalapenos are very hot. Then there are those that swear habanero peppers are so hot that they should be eaten carefully even though there are many food products that use this often.
