🔥 Turn Up the Heat: Inside This Month’s Hot & Spicy Artisan Gift Box

Ancient Roots: Did you know hot sauce dates back to around 7000 BC? The Aztecs were among the first to harness chili peppers, using them for both cooking and healing. Fast forward to today, and spice is still the universal language of bold flavor. That’s why this month’s Hot & Spicy Foodie Box is all about turning up the heat with gourmet small-batch makers who know how to balance fire with flavor.
