If they put hot sauce on, well, everything, the Melinda’s hot sauce collection adds variety to their spice repertoire. Plenty of the flavors pack a punch, like Fire Roasted Garlic & Habanero and Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce, but others function as condiments. Pro tip: The Black Truffle flavor is a winner.

Melinda’s sauces are high on flavor but relatively mild on heat, so this is a great set to get for a hot sauce beginner. They’re habanero-based and include mango, garlic, and extra hot varieties.

“MEXICANA from MELINDA’S.. WOW!!!! This sauce is fantastic! I love the Mexican flavor profile of spices in this sauce. There is a nice heat to flavor ratio from the addition of both Cayenne and habanero peppers, with the flavors of white vinegar, paprika, garlic, cumin and ground black pepper. This is definitely a wonderful table sauce because of its great flavor profile to mix with any type foods. Pizza, eggs, tacos, mixed into sour cream, added to drinks and so much more. This is a fantastic flavored hot sauce.”
