From the seller
I first travelled to Mexico 10 years ago on a mission to create a hot sauce to rival Tabasco.
Eating and adventuring all over Mexico, I eventually found myself in rural Yucatan, where I met a community of chilli farmers, an elderly nun, and Fidel Castro's ex-personal rum maker; it was these people who helped me create the sauce of sauces.
I shipped 500 bottles of the stuff back to the UK screen-printed with a big fat #1.
They were snapped up by the likes of Honest Burgers, Street Feast and Partridges.
Made with habanero peppers and a secret blend of spices, #1 HOT is an all-purpose hot sauce you can slap on just about anything.
We now make it in Mexico City, where I live with my girlfriend, Sandra, and her big Mexican family.
An authentic modern classic, #1 HOT is the numero uno.
