The Secret in the Sauce
HanaHotties, P.O. Box 1066, Hana, Maui, Hawaii 96713

HanaHotties Gourmet hot sauces are inspired by the wonderful flavors of Hana Maui, where the mountains flow gracefully into the sea. The constant trade winds keep the air so fresh and clean, it's no wonder the fruits are so happy! Our fruits are straight off the tree. The chili peppers, sooo hot-- a perfect complement for these sweet fruits. We bring these hand-blended sauces to your table with Aloha to be shared by your friends and family.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The ingredients used in our HanaHotties Hot Sauce are no secret. We are not surprised that others have tried to copy cat our Sauces. But they can't duplicate our meticulous process to produce these Gourmet sauces. We send them mahalos for imitation is a wonderful form of compliment. Mahalo.

We use the freshest ingredients imaginable and available. Our Organically grown Hawaiian Pele Chili Peppers are hand picked and blended right into the sauce. These chilies fro Hana Maui are picked from the pepperbush and go almost directly into the mix with the tastiest tropical organic fruits one can imagine. These juicy fruits don't spend too much time off the tree either, before THEY are mingling with the peppers. Our Hawaiian Pele Chili Peppers are organically grown right here in Hana Maui.

Those lucky enough to have visited Hana will call it Heaven on Earth. The temperature, soil, winds, and the rains make it ideal for the explosive flavors to build up in the fruits and chilies that go into our hand blended sauces. The only fruit that is not grown here in Hana are the Maui Gold Pineapple. The Maui Gold Pineapples are grown on the leeward side of the island, which is drier and ideal for the pineapples to become so sweet. Hana is on the windward side of Maui.

Since we use only the freshest ingredients in our sauces, this limits the supply of certain flavored hot sauces.

For example the Liliko'i (passion fruit) has a very short harvest period. The harvest period may last for only about one month. These exotic fruits don't yield much juice; there is only about a tablespoon of fresh juice per fruit. So you can imagine the time, labor and the amount of Liliko'i it takes to make one bottle of our famous HanaHotties Gourmet Liliko'i Hot Sauce.

The limited supply is the same for our Kuawa (guava). By the time our Kuawa is pitted and ready to blend, we loose more than half the weight of the Kuawa. So lots of Aloha goes into these sauces for all to enjoy.

What can we say about mango? Just thinking of mangos will make your mouth water. Mango enthusiasts know what we are talking about. The sweetness of the mango is a wonderful balance to these fiery Hawaiian peppers. Its a marriage made in heaven. Its a honey moon that never ends.

Papaya, these fruits are just magnificent in its flavors. Sweet like perfectly ripened honeydew melon, sweet like juice from a raw sugar cane, such a nice mixture of flavors that can't really be described in words. One has to experience the exotic flavors of this fruit; it’s a must for any culinary enthusiast. Sometimes we are lucky enough to have strawberry papayas in season, this is a special batch that does not last long on the shelves.

Pineapple is sweet, tangy, juicy, just perfect for our blends.

We use real lemon and or limejuice and apple cider vinegar. These are a perfect balance in the blend of our HanaHotties Gourmet Hot Sauce. Not only does it act as a natural preservative, but it also enhances the flavor to give it its gourmet richness.

Another ingredient that goes into our famous gourmet sauces is onions, yes good old fashion onions, but in our case unlike most other companies that use dehydrated, re-hydrated, powdered etc, etc,...we use the real fresh, we have to peel til we cry type onions. We peel them, we chop them, but we have to stop there, the rest is a secret. But we do use the real onions, and its one of our ingredients that enhances the richness of our HanaHotties Gourmet Hot Sauce.

Last but not least Hawaiian sea salt. We only use a tiny bit of salt to bring out the last bit of goodness in our gourmet sauce. But we use the best Hawaiian sea salt.

HanaHotties Gourmet Hot Sauce, uses the best ingredients imaginable. The use of nice, clean, fresh, real foods is a pleasure. No artificial flavors, no coloring, no added sugars, no artificial preservatives, no stabilizers, no gums, just real food.

Mahalo for your patronage.
