Do you know whats in our Sauces?


All of the Major Hot Sauce companies sell you the same thing....Vinegar, Salt, Hot peppers....You may find some "Spices"... and maybe an addition of some juices as an after thought to put on the bottle, but not in many. But the top Five competitors on the shelf are the same ingredients. Not much difference in heat scales and High in sodium. Some people ask me why I put so much passion into my sauces. Because I like to Eat and Enjoy my food my creations my time preparing it . And all the Major Brands are Vinegar based and some not even real vinegar they use Acetic Acid Powder (Synonyms Acetic acid
Use food industry, raw material for textile finishing agents,
industrial use, raw material for pharmaceutical products
Company Hitech Chemicals) and Water why would you spend all your hard earned money on Awesome fresh food spend all your time cooking and then throw some dollar bottle of cheap salty vinegar with tepid heat on top of it all? 


I like Garlic. All of my products have Garlic. Not pureed.. not dried, not a few pieces but minced pieces that when you pour out you can SEE them, bite into them and get a little piece that bursts with a little garlic love in each bite. In fact I use about 9 lbs of minced garlic per 100 lb batch.. it takes over 540 cloves per batch in the Garlic Key Lime.. And just a little bit over half pound of vinegar for a 100 lb batch of sauce.. I sell you whole ingredients not flavored fermented vinegar. 




Now ask yourself.. what are you paying for?... Salt, vinegar  Hot Peppers. The most popular brand in the USA is only 7% solids... And sells for up to 5.39 for 5 oz bottle at just about any grocery store. They have been making the same product same bottle the same way and charging for a premium product. 



Our ingredients list is considered Exotic by most industry standards and actually does not fall in the Hot Sauce classification. Do other HOT SAUCES have Honey, Maple Syrup, Molasses, Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice, Ginger, Key Lime Juice?...NONE of the major Hot Sauce Companies. Our Sauces are a Hot and Spicy.... Cooking Sauce, Grilling Sauce, Dipping Sauce, Stir Fry Sauce, Marinade and yes a Condiment.. Sauce based. And all of them start with a Base Product that is added to these sauces to bring out the best flavors you can.  Then the heat is added slowly to a level that is made to make you just want that next bite of food. Our sauces are meant to be used daily, cooked with, used as a marinade and yes also as a daily condiment that stays on your family's kitchen table. California Habanero Blends wants to be part of the family  part of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. Who gets the last drop. Who has the best hiding place in the refrigerator or the pantry?...This is what happens in my Family my friends houses and hopefully yours.
