Melinda’s is the Original Habanero Pepper Sauce. Our distinct pepper sauces made their mark by being different. In the 80’s, most hot sauces had a prominent vinegar taste; they left a sour flavor on your food. Melinda’s is thicker, hotter and better than the traditional style sauces. Our unique recipe honors Habanero peppers by blending them deliciously with carrots, onions, garlic, a hint of lime and salt to craft the perfect balance of heat and flavor. Melinda’s proved that a pepper sauce could taste good with or without food.
