The perfect balance of flavor and heat
The Search Sauce is just that. We're searching for that perfect moment, in a bottle. The peppers are grown in our garden in the Willow Glen neighborhood in San Jose, CA and produced in ultra small batches.
Each season is different because the search never ends, but we guarantee that the color is bright and the flavor is consistently awesome. Our goal is to bring you the best hot sauce you've ever had, a hot sauce that delivers awesome flavor AND brings a good heat that doesn't overwhelm your meal. It's amazing on eggs, pizza, soup, salad, BBQ, pretty much everything.

Imperfection is perfection.
An empty lineup. That perfect skate spot. Those are things I searched for growing up. Then I discovered Tabasco sauce at 15, which started a lifelong love of all things spicy.
But today, it seems like we've sacrificed flavor to attain face melting heat. We're searching to strike a perfect balance that brings the good heat, and also highlights the amazing fruity, pungent flavor of the peppers.
Getting back to basics
This stuff is for purists. We've stripped away all the other ingredients that overpower the flavor of the peppers. The Search Sauce contains 3 ingredients: distilled white vinegar, peppers, sugar.
2024 Season Blend
Since we grow peppers that are used in the Search Sauce, we have control over the variety and the quality of the blend. Every season is different, and that's what makes The Search so unique.
All batches of the 2024 season hot sauce contains habanero, chocolate habanero, scotch bonnet, red habanero, 7 pot douglah, chocolate, bhut jalokia (ghost pepper), Trinidad scorpion, and Carolina reaper.
