Sauces & heat

How do I choose the right sauce if they all seem hot?

Start with Mango Tango (3/10) — tropical with gentle heat. A great first step.

Want something more practical — take theheat quiz:a few questions and you get a recommendation.

How long can I keep a sauce?

Unopened — 18 months. Once opened we officially state two weeks, but in practice the hotter ones, kept properly in the fridge, can stay good for months.

Do the sauces contain sugar?

Yes, but not much. Depending on the sauce, per 100 g there’s roughly 3 g (in the hottest pure-chilli sauces) up to ~20 g (in fruity ones, e.g. Mango Tango). The sugar is natural from fruit; we add a little only for balance. Exact amounts are on each bottle’s label.

The sauce has separated — is it still good?

Yes — it’s natural. We don’t use thickeners, so natural sediment and separation are normal. Just shake the bottle before use.

Are they vegan and vegetarian friendly?

Yes — all our sauces are plant-based. No animal products, no gluten, no artificial additives.

Are they suitable for kids?

Mango Tango (3/10) may suit some kids, but always taste it yourself first. Every child’s taste buds are different.

The Aštruolis series, Sabotage and Ghost Ritual — not recommended for kids.

The Heat Club

What is the Heat Club?

It’s our loyalty program: collect 10 stamps (1 stamp = 1 bottle) and get a Special Edition sauce from my greenhouse harvest that you can’t buy anywhere else.

Find the full details on theHeat Club page.

Does membership cost anything?

No. The Heat Club is free. You sign up, buy a sauce — and automatically get a stamp.
