Hot Sauce is a Dance, and Cutino is the Ultimate Choreographer

An experiment with a new hot sauce can help you break out of a rut in the kitchen (pun certainly intended). Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, something spicy, or something truly decadent, we’ve got plenty of options for you to consider. 

We present to you: Cutino sauces that come in five finger-licking flavors. All-natural habanero sauce from Cutino Sauce Co. has been made in small batches with no preservatives since 2015. As the owner and founder of Cutino Sauce Co., Jacob Cutino worked tirelessly to perfect his own version of his stepfather’s super-secret habanero sauce recipe to bring big flavor to these little bottles of handcrafted hot sauce goodness.

By teaming up with local chef Chris Bianco (of Pizzeria Bianco fame) and collaborating on a national marketing campaign, Cutino Sauce Co. went from selling one bottle at local Phoenix farmers markets to becoming a national sensation in 2017. Cutino Sauce is available in four-ounce bottles in a variety of hot sauce flavors, including Jalapeno, Habanero, Verde, Chipotle, and even Ghost.

Cutino Habanero Hot Sauce

In order to create the liquid gold that is Cutino Habanero, they used only the freshest, highest-quality habaneros. Hot sauce made with habanero peppers is full-bodied and flavorful, with a mouthwatering balance of acidity and sweetness. In addition to Vinegar, Onion, Carrot, Mustard, Lemon Juice, Salt and Sugar are also added to it.

Cutino Jalepeño Hot Sauce

Jalapenos used in the Cutino Sauce Co. Jalapeno sauce are fully ripened and red, revealing a lovely deep sweetness. Onion, mustard, and lime round out the flavor for the ideal harmony of a mild & flavorful burn, which is aided by the sweetness of tomatoes and carrots. A flavorful jalapeno sauce with a sweet and spicy kick? Yes, please!

Cutino Verde Hot Sauce

With a hint of the dried ghost pepper’s smoky floral fire and the earthy flavor of the poblano, the Cutino Verde sauce is a perfect accompaniment to any Mexican dish, from tacos to quesadillas. If you add lime juice, you’ll be in hot sauce heaven!

Cutino Chipotle Hot Sauce

Sliced pineapple, carrots, curry powder, and a dash of Ghost pepper give Cutino’s Hot Sauce (previously known as Homeboy’s) its unique flavor and heat. In addition to pineapple, chili peppers, carrots, habaneros, Vinegar, Curry Paste, Tomato Paste, and Salt and Lime Juice, dried Ghost Peppers are included in the ingredients.

Cutino Miso Hot Sauce

Because their previous Limited Batch Miso release was their most popular, they decided to restock Cutino Miso Hot Sauce again. Their Miso Hot Sauce is savory, sweet, and tangy all at once. In addition to the listed ingredients, this sauce contains vinegar, habanero, carrots, and onions, as well as the following allergens: soy and wheat.

I love a good hot sauce as much as the next person – maybe even more, because I seem to always crave some extra heat with every meal I eat. It can be hard to find a good sauce though that tastes just right, which is why I love Cutino Hot Sauce so much.
