Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce, Non-GMO, Low Sugar, 6-Pack 8 fl oz

This is our staple go-to hot sauce for everything. When we taste a dish and think it needs a little kick? Secret Aardvark. Not Tabasco (although we love Tabasco - also a staple). Not Sriracha, although we love it. Huy Fong's Chili Garlic is way better (staple) - how did Sriracha become such a big thing - and we'd choose that when having fried dumplings over the Aardvark. We're gonna hit the Peri Peri when doing African dishes. Frank's for wings. All our sauces have their purpose, but when you don't know what you are in the mood for? Secret Aardvark. Never a mistake. Especially good on eggs in the morning. Oh, and it's hard to make a mistake with a shake or two heat-wise: It's not that hot. Shake some on. Have a taste. Shake some more on, obviously! So good and easy to love I give it away as a present to hot sauce lovers.

This six-pack of Secret Aardvark hot sauces has become a staple in my kitchen. I love the unique flavor profiles and the perfect balance of heat. These sauces are incredibly versatile – I use them on everything from tacos and burritos to eggs and pizza. The heat level is just right – it adds a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. I highly recommend this pack to any hot sauce enthusiast!

Secret Aardvark is a very unique sauce, it's more like a salsa than a sauce because it's thick and a little chunky. It has hints of mustard, smoky habaneros, garlic, onion, probably some cumin and other eclectic spices. It's a nice heat, not overpowering, so you can still taste your food. I think it enhances potato dishes, especially hash browns and fried potatoes. I love it on Pizza, eggs and anything Mexican. It is very expensive, but if I created this recipe, I would cash in as well! The original creator passed away nearly 10 years ago, but his legacy carries on with this delish sauce. I have been using this sauce since it was first created and sold at a small local restaurant and it hasn't changed a bit, in my opinion.

Found out about this years ago on a random visit to Portland, Oregon. You will literally find this everywhere there. The sauce is thick - although it will drip out when inverted, but nothing like ketchup, maybe in between a tobasco and ketchup consistency (not a consistently smooth texture if that matters). Flavor is nice, spices with a nice acidic tangy-ness? The heat, in my opinion is on the low end, but for those that can't handle spice at all or are coming from off the shelf brands like Texas-Pete or the aforementioned tobasco, it is made with habaneros (it's probably close to sriracha on the heat level?). I'd recommend putting it on everything - salads, pizza, tacos, rice, cucumbers, your finger, sandwiches, fries, pasta, etc. My only issue is that I always run out of it, it's very easy to go through these bottles. Would recommend, great entry to the hot sauce world.

It's got the flavor and not just the heat! I've put it on the meat I'm cooking or I put it on the veggies...just depends on which one I want to "kick up a notch". It is a thick sauce (almost a paste), so if you're used to thinner sauces...you can thin it out by mixing it with white vinegar. It does change the flavor slightly, but it's still quite tasty. Just depends on your preference. The wife & go through it pretty fast. It's time for us to get more soon! We won't let our home go without it!!

When I travel I am always paying attention to the local condiments, especially the hot sauces. In Maryland everything is Old Bay, in Texas you’ll find Valentina or Tapatio around a lot. In the Caribbean my fave is the Belizean Marie Sharps. But when I went to Oregon I never expected to see a unique and ubiquitous hot sauce on the tables of almost every restaurant we visited. Oregon... hot sauce?!?! Ohhh yea!!! The Secret Aardvark habanero hot sauce is divine!! I use it on sooo many things. Raw avocado? Oh yes please!! Want to add kick to your Mac and cheese? Heck yesss!!!! Pizza, burger, turkey sandwich? Yes yes yes. Even mashed potatoes?! Tasting is believing and I’m a believer. Now it will not replace the Original Louisiana hot sauce for Jambalaya. It will not replace Sriracha for pho. But it is my favorite versatile sauce I’ve had to date. And it’s from Oregon. Weird, in a good way, but so is Oregon so that makes sense.

My current favorite hot sauce for flavor + heat!!

If you haven’t tasted this stuff, buy it now! It does have a nice initial kick of spice. The nice thing is, this sauce doesn’t linger. It hits you and moves on. That just gets you ready for the next delicious bite!
