Love every sauce I’ve purchased. Big supporter over here in North Carolina!
Not exactly what I expected. Tastes....burnt
Just solid hot sauce, with fresh pepper flavor. Very versatile. Good heat, but not overwhelming.
"Original is my over-all favorite. It goes great on everything except your Lucky Charms... and even that might be delicious!"
"We love Gindos hot sauces! Quick delivery and they make great hostess or last minute gifts."
"Best sauces you could ever ask for, and the customer service is off the charts!"
"The Jalapeño Poblano is my favorite hot sauce for eggs. Tried Cholula once, threw it away, nothing compares to Gindos!"
"I bought the subscription for my husband, he LOVED every flavor so much, we renewed! They use local ingredients too, which we love."
"When a friend from NEW MEXICO buys $200 of Gindo's, you know it's special. I haven't looked at other sauces since discovering Gindo's."
"We love the Jalapeño Poblano sauce! We use it on everything from eggs to Mexican food!"
"I purchased the subscription service because I never want to run out again!"

Why Gindo's fresh pepper hot sauces taste different

Gindo's Giardiniera Sauce takes that same combination of vegetables and heat and puts it through a vinegar base instead of oil — so it pours and pairs more like a hot sauce than a jarred relish. It's still made fresh, in small batches, the same way we make every Gindo's sauce — real peppers, real vegetables, real heat.
If you've ever lined up five hot sauce bottles on your counter and wondered why they all taste... kind of the same, there's a reason. Most of the hot sauce on grocery store shelves is built around the same formula: peppers, vinegar, salt, and water, cooked down and bottled to last forever on a shelf. That formula isn't wrong. It's just not what we do. At Gindo's, we've been making hot sauce from fresh peppers in small batches in Illinois since 2011.
Gindo’s is coming to the Batavia Boardwalk Shops for the first time—marking our first Batavia location and a major hometown milestone. Here’s what it means and what we’re bringing with us.
