Los Angeles, California (2023) – Melissa’s kicks off the Hatch Pepper season with two hot sauces made from this unique pepper. The Hatch pepper is grown exclusively in the Mesilla Valley near Hatch, New Mexico. It is considered to be one of the most flavorful peppers in the world. Hot sauces of all kinds and flavors have been a key component in Mexican cooking since the Aztecs.
Melissa’s Green Hatch Hot Sauce is made from young and tender green peppers. It has a light, fresh taste with a spicy heat that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Our Red Hatch Sauce is made from fully ripened peppers [red] that have a more complex, deeply rich flavor with a hint of sweetness followed by a very spicy aftertaste. These two growing stages each offer a distinct taste that will provide a delicious accent to any traditional Hispanic dish or bowl of chips.
