help Cholula FAQ
What peppers give Cholula Original its flavor?
Cholula Original is made with arbol and piquin peppers, plus vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and spices. That pepper blend is why it tastes more tangy and earthy than a sharper Louisiana-style sauce.
How spicy is Cholula compared with Tabasco or Valentina?
Cholula is generally a mild tabletop sauce, commonly listed around 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville heat units. It is usually chosen for tacos, eggs, and pizza when people want flavor more than a high-heat challenge.
Why does Cholula have a wooden cap?
The round wooden cap is one of Cholula's signature packaging details, especially on the 5-ounce glass bottle. It helps the bottle stand out on restaurant tables next to brands like Tabasco, Tapatio, and Valentina.
Who owns Cholula now?
McCormick & Company completed its acquisition of Cholula in 2020. The brand is still strongly associated with Mexican-style hot sauce and its original arbol and piquin pepper recipe.
