Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce

The Cholula Chipotle variant is a smoky, mild sauce that shares a similar, approachable heat level to the brand's original Cholula. It blends the signature pequin and arbol peppers with chipotle to provide a rich, wood-smoked flavor without being overwhelmingly hot. It generally falls around 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Because of its mild, wood-smoked flavor profile, this hot sauce is exceptionally well-suited for grilled meats like chicken, pulled pork, and steak. The smokiness also complements eggs, mac and cheese, and traditional Mexican street tacos. It adds a savory depth rather than just pure spiciness.

Yes, like most of the sauces in the Cholula lineup, the Chipotle flavor is completely gluten-free and vegan. It relies on natural chili peppers, spices, and seasonings without any wheat-based thickeners. This makes it a safe and popular condiment for people with specific dietary restrictions.
