Formosa Jalapeno Hot Sauce, 5 oz

Price: $10.00

The milder one, made after a trade show made it clear how many people wanted the flavour without the habanero behind it. Jalapeno with cilantro, tomatillos and cumin, which puts it closer to a salsa verde than a hot sauce.

Same thick, creamy build as the habanero. It spreads.

5 oz.

The Brand

Formosa

The name suggests Taiwan and the sauce is Mexican, which catches most people out. Formosa is Julio Lopez Velasquez's, based in California, and the recipe came from a small village in Mexico by way of his family.

He has been at it since 1984, first selling the habanero at his own restaurant before bottling anything. The jalapeno came later, after a trade show made it obvious that plenty of people wanted the flavour without the full habanero.

Everything is 100% natural, vegan and gluten free, and thick rather than thin, which is the house style.

Pantry FAQs

Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.

You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.

Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.

Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.

Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.

Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.

These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
