These sweet hot sauces from Paladin introduce a whole new way to add interest to a variety of dishes. While spicy peppers on their own can often have hints of their own sweetness, Paladin amplifies this flavor by adding fruits like pineapple, orange and lemon to its hot sauce. As well as being a standout in the hot sauce category, Le Diablotin offers a fresh new take on the traditional Portuguese Piri-Piri sauce.
Like Paladin, Cristal is another brand that makes a fruit-infused hot sauce that mixes jalapeno and habanero peppers with green apple. In addition to looking for exotically flavored hot sauces, inspired by the rise in global popularity of Sriracha sauce and foodie culture, consumers are seeking complexity from spicy-sweet flavors in many kinds of food and beverage products.
