Hot Humboldt

PREDATOR HEAT WITH TENTACLES.

Hot Humboldt™ is a bold, golden hot sauce inspired by one of the ocean’s most formidable predators. Sweet corn and fresh sugar-pie pumpkin create a rich, silky base, while Ají Amarillo brings bright pepper flavor and a smooth, building heat. Fresh ginger, lime, coconut vinegar, white miso, and warm spices give this sauce layers of savory, citrusy flavor that reach far beyond ordinary hot sauce.
