Caliente Hot Sauce, based in Salmon Arm, BC, crafts authentic Mexican hot sauces with a focus on fresh, raw ingredients. Their recipes have roots in the central Mexican state of Tlaxcala, emphasizing simplicity and flavour. Caliente distinguishes itself by producing sauces free of chemicals, emulsifiers, and the strong vinegar taste common in many hot sauces. Their products are also sugar-free, vegan, and gluten-free. They also produce a fresh raw BBQ sauce. Caliente hot sauce is distributed in many stores throughout British Columbia.
