Pepper Plant California Style Hot Sauce (Original, 64 Fl. Oz.)

My husband is originally from Cali & I was introduced to this product when visiting there. I can’t get enough of this. It has a nice Smokey flavor. The thickness is like a hot sauce versus a salsa consistency. I will say a little goes a long way. Don’t have to add any salt to this. I love the quality ingredients. Each time we order this, it has consistently tasted the same. Love this product & I cook with it all the time!!

We LOVE this pepper sauce! We order it by the gallon because we use it on practically everything. Great taste, just enough “heat” (add more for more heat!) We’ve been buying it for YEARS. My meals would be too bland without it.

Pepper Plant is my all time favorite hot sauce. The spice level is moderate. The flavor is superb. I don't even buy other brands any more. I will say that it is rather salty, so if I know I'm going to use it, I reduce the salt in whatever I'm cooking. This large jug lasts my family of 3 about a year and I've never had it go bad.

If you want a hot sauce that will melt your face off - this isn't it. If you want a sauce with some heat and a lot of flavor, that melds well with lots of foods, and that you can easily use every day, this is your sauce. I don't know why the negative reviews claim it was super salty. It has a very present saltiness to it, but well within reason. When mixed with any food, the salt is not really perceptible. I wonder if maybe those people didn't shake the bottle? Because it does settle. And shaking a 1/2 gallon jug is a workout! Half a gallon might seem like overkill. Like who would consume that much hot sauce? A jug usually lasts me, by myself, about 4 to 6 months. It keeps well in the refrigerator. Really, though, I buy the 1/2 gal because paying $10 for a tiny 10oz. bottle is an absolute ripoff, when you can buy 6+ little bottles' worth for only a few dollars more. Do buy a small bottle first, though, to see if you like it, and more importantly to have a handy bottle to refill. The only other thing is that this isn't really a dipping sauce. But you can mix it with a small amount of mayonnaise, and it loses a bit of the heat, but keeps the flavor and overpowers the mayo, and that makes a decent dipping sauce. Overall, my favorite sauce. I'm on my third jug!

It is not the typical little bottle of scalding hot sauce; it is a flavor sauce with a taste of fresh chilies and garlic. It comes from Gilroy, CA - the garlic capital of the USA. Balanced flavors. It is my secret ingredient. It goes into salsas, guacamole, soups, chowders, stews, chilies, salad dressings, cole slaw., and more (spice up that glass of tomato juice) - it adds an extra dimension to everything. I buy the gallon jugs and keep a refillable bottle on the kitchen refrigerator door (I cannot cook unless it is a short reach away). 30 years ago, it was difficult to find even in California; but now (thanks to Amazon), anyone in the US can enjoy it. If you timidly wish to give it a trial run, get a small bottle - I predict that you will soon be back looking for that 64 ounce jug.

This stuff is great. I put it on everything but especially eggs in the morning. Good stuff.

Great with most foods

I always salt my dishes (I love salt) so my first try using this on chicken the flavor was great but way too salty! Next I tried it in a green chili I had made that turned out a little bland and it was much better...it would be wonderful if they made a low sodium version (I can't believe I am writing this)! It has a strong flavor of what seemed like celery to me which was a little different. Bet it would be killer in a bloody mary!
