So if you know me then you know I LOVE spicy stuff! And a great way to add spice to any food is to add a good hot sauce. And I’m the type of person that can put hot sauce on anything! That’s why I was so excited to receive an opportunity to test out the Cholula Original Hot Sauce in exchange for my honest review from PrismPop! This post is not sponsored!
🌶 So what is Cholula Hot Sauce?
- Cholula Hot Sauce is based off of a 100 year old family recipe from Mexico! This hot sauce is made from a blend of arbol and piquin peppers along with a bunch of local spices. For the best experience, Cholula recommends you use their hot sauce with clean, fresh food!
🌶 How is the packaging?
- This hot sauce comes in a glass bottle with a wooden cap! And while other hot sauces come in glass bottles, the wooden cap really makes this hot sauce stand out from the other brands. Each flavor of Cholula sauce also has its own unique colored cap.
🌶 What are the Ingredients?
- Water
- Arbol and Piquin Peppers
- Salt
- Vinegar
- Garlic Powder
- Spices
- Xanthan Gum
🌶 Just how hot is Cholula hot sauce?
- On a scale of 1-5 I would honestly rate it a 3. It’s got a little spice to it, but it’s not terribly spicy. With this hot sauce, you get moderate spice and lots of flavor!
🌶 Where is Cholula Available?
- What’s great about this hot sauce is you can buy it literally everywhere. It’s even offered in most restaurants!
🌶 Is it affordable?
- Yes! This hot sauce is very affordable! Prices start at $2.12 and go all the way up to $17.08, depending on the size and how much hot sauce you want.
🌶 Should you refrigerate Cholula after opening?
- No! Not unless you choose too. The salt and vinegar in Cholula helps it last a long time on the pantry shelf!
