Smoky Hot Sauce ($16)

Much like Pisqueya's adobo, the Smoky Hot Sauce is one of the brand's crown jewels. This vegan sauce is not only sugar-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free, but it is also low-sodium, making it a healthy yet flavorful addition to any meat dish or rich cheese platter. Made with difficult-to-source Caribbean-grown Scotch bonnet peppers (also referred to by Dominicans as ajicitos), this spicy and fresh hot sauce's flavor profile is further augmented by the addition of jalapeño peppers, garlic, vinegar, and just a bit of salt. The inclusion of jalapeño peppers balances out the taste, making this a generally milder hot sauce, perfect for most palates that still crave a bit of Caribbean heat for their meals.
