Shuug — Zhoug Hot Sauce
Bold, herby heat in a bottle. Shuug’s Zhoug Hot Sauce is a vibrant blend of fresh cilantro, poblanos, scotch bonnet, and juicy jalapeños, striking that perfect balance between bright flavor and serious spice.

Villa Jerada — Aleppo Pepper
If you love flavor and heat, Aleppo is your new best friend. Villa Jerada Aleppo Pepper brings a bright, savory fruitiness with a lingering, complex warmth—strong enough to shine solo, but also incredible layered with spices like cumin and cinnamon (yes, even in sweet applications).
Tastes amazing on:
- Grilled meats, soups, tomatoes, and salads
- Pizza (the ultimate upgrade)
- Crunchy potato chips
- And for the adventurous: ice cream for a sweet-heat surprise
Southern Steak & Oyster — Mini South of Somewhere
Previously known as Southerners’ Revenge Hot Sauce, this 3 oz mini is made for sampling, gifting, and taking on the road. Don’t want to commit to a full bottle? This is the perfect way to test-drive the heat.
Made with Jolokia (Ghost Pepper), it brings that bold “down South” intensity—hot enough to earn a little swagger, but still designed to be delicious.
Perfect on:
- Eggs, tacos, and burgers
- Gumbo, chili, and stews
- Anything that needs a fiery finish (start with a few drops!)
