Vermont Habs Hot Sauce

Sometimes you just want a classic.

Vermont Habs is our straightforward, no-nonsense habanero hot sauce made with bright red Hot Paper Lantern habaneros grown on small farms. These peppers bring that clean, fruity heat habaneros are famous for, without a lot of extra distractions.

The result is a hot sauce that’s vibrant, punchy, and pepper-forward. It has a lively heat that builds quickly but still lets the flavor of the peppers shine.

It’s fantastic on tacos, eggs, burritos, grilled meats, rice and beans, or anywhere you’d normally reach for a classic red sauce.

Simple ingredients. Great peppers. A lot of flavor. That’s really the whole trick.

My top hot sauce across a variety of uses and one i keep coming back to. Great clean pepper flavor and good heat. From tacos to BBQ to spicing up some queso or pickled food it adds heat but lets your food flavors still shine too.

This is the best straight-habanero sauce I've ever had. I don't know what they did to those peppers, but the flavor is so delightfully complex.

This one is pretty alright. To me it's more heavy on vinegar than some other BBV sauces I've tried, and not as hot - I'm not sure what it's like for people who aren't as soaked in capsaicin 24/7 as I am. I've enjoyed it in soups and salads.

This one's on the hot end for me, but I keep coming back to it. My obsession with hot sauce isn't just melt-your-face, it's an enjoyment of the heat on top of enjoyment of the flavor of the different peppers. In most sauces, the pepper flavor is complimented by or juxtaposed with other flavors. (Something I like about all of Butterfly Bakery's sauces is how present the pepper is in the flavor design of most of them.) This sauce fronts the peppers on their own and if you like the flavor of habaneros, it's a must-have.

My favorite sauce. Such a nice heat and taste balance...like most of the sauces, I've tasted, you can taste terroir.
All of the sauces, I have tasted, have heat and flavor.
These are not melt, (steal) your face hot.
It a refreshing clean, fresh taste.

How We Make Our Hot Sauce

It All Starts With The Farmers

Our hot sauces begin in the soil. We work directly with small farms that grow the chili peppers, onions, and herbs that make each bottle unique. Every harvest is different, which means every batch has its own personality. Supporting our farmers keeps our ingredients fresh, our flavors clear, and our community strong.

The Magic of Flavor First

We don’t chase heat. We chase flavor. Our small-batch sauces are built to be bold, balanced, and unforgettable, whether they’re starring on a breakfast sandwich or standing up to barbecue. We focus on balance, freshness, and the kind of depth that only comes from small-batch care. Every sauce is crafted to make food taste better, not just hotter.
Bottled for the Bold

We bottle every drop in our kitchen in Barre, Vermont. The result is a lineup of sauces that has landed on Hot Ones, earned praise from acclaimed chefs, and kept Vermont on the flavor map. If you’re ready for real heat with real heart, this is your sauce.
