Best Brand Bottlers Private Label Products–Pepper Sauces

Q.  I see a very nice selection of hot sauces on the Private Label section of your site and was wondering if you could give me more information about them?

I sure can. 

All of the pepper sauces are manufactured from scratch in-house here at Best Brand Bottlers and are available for private labeling in 5 ounce woozies (industry standard) and 1 Gallon (128 ounce) containers.  The 5 ounce jars are for retail (front of the house) and the 128 ounce jugs are for food service (back of the house).

Serrano Pepper Sauce – The Scoville rating of the Serrano pepper is 10,000 to 25,000, making it hotter than the jalapeño pepper and not quite as hot as the habanero.  The Serrano pepper itself has a thicker skin than most other hot peppers and that’s what gives it its unique flavor and texture.  

We believe our Serrano Pepper Sauce will be the next big thing to hit pepper sauces because of its flavor.  We add a unique blend of spices along with fresh onions, garlic and ginger to our aged red Serrano peppers and a touch of vinegar.   At the restaurants we private label for, they treat this sauce the same way as they treat their single malt 18 year old scotch whiskey – Top Shelf!

Cayenne Pepper Sauce The rating of the cayenne pepper is generally at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units.  It’s used for red pepper flakes and crushed red pepper and it’s red curly look is very familiar.

Best Brand Bottlers’ Cayenne pepper sauce was once known as Hot Lava™ and we’ll be resurrecting that brand name once more!   Look for it soon.  Some restaurants only buy this particular sauce as their customers prefer one choice of pepper sauce and this is tried and true.

Habanero Pepper Sauce According to The Nibble, the hottest chile grown in central America or the Caribbean (10 on a scale of 10), the habanero is named after Havana, where it is believed to have originated, and was later introduced to the Yucatan peninsula. The habanero is the most intensely spicy chile of the Capsicum genus.  The Scotch Bonnet is in the same species of pepper. 

Taking a similar flavor approach as the recipe for our Serrano Pepper sauce, we use the best spices, the freshest onions and garlic to make our habanero hot sauce into something that’s still hot, but not killer hot.

Red Jalapeño Pepper Sauce and Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce – According to Wikipedia, Jalapeños have 2,500–10,000 Scoville heat units. Compared to other chilis, the jalapeño has a heat level that varies from mild to hot depending on cultivation and preparation. The heat, caused by capsaicin and related compounds, is concentrated in the membrane (placenta) surrounding the seeds.  Like most peppers, the mature fruit is red in color, but jalapeños are usually harvested when they are green.

We at Best Brand Bottlers consider these sauces to be very special, so much so that we only run them at certain times of the year.  We run the Red Jalapeño Pepper Sauce once a year to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (May 5th).  The Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce is only run for St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th).  We require an 8 week in advance order for them and supplies are limited and we usually run out pretty quickly, so the earlier in advance you order them, the better.

Thanks for your question and your interest in Best Brand Bottlers, bringing you the best of flavors in condiments, dressings, sauces and marinades!  I’ll follow up with descriptions of the rest of food product offerings in the next few weeks.
