This is the perfect beginner’s hot sauce, in my opinion. I love the flavor of habanero, but it usually knocks my socks off. Melinda’s figured out a way to give me the flavor but not the toilet troubles the next morning. I share this with all of my heat-intolerant family and it’s perfect for them. Such a delicious, perfect habanero flavor, but for those with lower spice tolerance. Just enough to ma Chase P. · melindas.com
