Valentina Salsa Picante Hot Sauce

Valentina Salsa Picante is a popular Mexican hot sauce produced by Salsa Tamazula, S.A. de C.V., a company based in Guadalajara, Mexico. The sauce is made with a blend of water, chili peppers, vinegar, salt, spices, and 0.1% sodium benzoate as a preservative. Valentina is known for its distinctive flavor, which is less vinegary and thicker than some other hot sauces, making it a favorite condiment for various Mexican dishes. The brand offers two varieties: hot (900 Scoville Heat Units) and extra hot (2100 SHU). Valentina's packaging features a flip-top cap for easy dispensing and is typically sold in 12.5-ounce and larger glass bottles. The red shape on the label represents the Mexican state of Jalisco, where the company is based. The sauce is named after Valentina Ramírez Avitia, a Mexican revolutionary. Valentina is widely available in North and South America and is often used to add a spicy kick to foods like nachos, tacos, burritos, and more.
