Category: Hot Sauce Single

Help us welcome another new maker to the crew, Good Heat! Chef Maxime set out to create a hot sauce that mimics the spicy, umami goodness of queso - minus the cheese. Yes, you read that right folks, this is a vegan. queso. hot sauce. It was hard for us to wrap our heads around, too, but after three years of work, we think he perfected it. The secret to this hot sauce recipe is the use of umami-packed nutritional yeast, a vegan secret for achieving cheesiness that is also packed with B vitamins. You have to try it to believe it!

Miles S. ★★★★★

I kept drizzling this on nachos and tacos all week, and the way it nails that creamy, savory queso flavor without a drop of dairy is honestly wild. Chef Maxime clearly knows what they’re doing—the heat is there but it doesn’t overpower the umami.

Steven F. ★★★★★

The umami hit is real—it’s like melted queso’s soul without the dairy, and the heat creeps up just enough to keep things interesting. I’ve been drizzling it on tacos and even eggs, and that cheesy depth keeps surprising me.

Christopher ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a cheese-flavored hot sauce without any actual cheese, but the umami depth here is surprisingly convincing. It's got a good, manageable heat that lets the savory flavor shine through without burning your face off. Drizzled some on tacos last night and it disappeared fast.
