Why Jerky Is a Great Pick Among Gifts for Hot Sauce Lovers
Hot sauce fans love bold flavor, and they love trying new things. Jerky fits both. It is a snack they can open right away, share with friends, or tuck into a bag for later.
Our Hatch Green Chile took 1st Place at the International Flavor Award. It starts savory with teriyaki, then moves into smoky, earthy green chile from Hatch, New Mexico. The heat is toned down to a customer-friendly level, so it rates mild to medium.
Our jerky is thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip. It is a family recipe passed down from our founder's dad, Leroy, and every batch is handmade. That story makes the gift feel personal, not like something grabbed in a hurry.
