Shiitake Szechuan: Savory, versatile, and bold

Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. collaborates with Grill Master Mel Chmilar Jr. to deliver a sauce that blends fiery habanero and cayenne with the earthy depth of shiitake mushrooms and a kiss of Szechuan pepper. The result is a deeply savoury profile with a distinctive dark-side heat that can elevate a range of dishes without overpowering them.

Designed for flavor-first cooks, this small-batch, all-natural sauce is crafted without water, thickening agents, or chemical preservatives. Pepper fermentation uses traditional methods, and every bottle is developed, cooked, and bottled in Thunder Bay, Ontario, reflecting a commitment to quality and local craft.
