What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the condiments aisle or on a kitchen table, ready to brighten tacos, eggs, or a midnight snack. It carries a bold, zesty, slightly nostalgic taco-truck/diner vibe — a practical, adventurous staple people reach for to add heat. The short, recognizable ingredient list is paired with a stabilizer (xanthan gum) and commercial bottling, signaling industrial processing and texture stabilization typical of mass-made condiments.
