An Unforgettable Night at Yankees Stadium! On Wednesday, we hosted a unique and unforgettable press event in a luxury suite at  New York Yankees Stadium during the Yankees vs. Orioles game. As Yankee Stadium's official hot sauce and the country's second-most-sold brand (in units sold), we wanted to celebrate our phenomenal rise from #13 to #2 in just one year. We invited editors to enjoy the game in style, mingle with the founders, and experience firsthand what makes our sauces so special. Guests sampled our 42 craft pepper sauces and condiments on iconic stadium foods. Additionally, Chef Nick from Legends surprised everyone with three incredible dishes made with our unique sauces, explaining his preparation process and the flavors involved. It was a night full of fun, flavor, and heat – a true testament to our remarkable journey and the passion behind their products. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making it a memorable evening!

We're thrilled to share an amazing review of our XXXX Reserve Habanero Pepper Sauce from Tasting Table! Check out the article to discover why this sauce is packing in the heat: https://lnkd.in/gJnjbbPe Hot sauce enthusiasts know that habanero peppers bring more than just heat – they offer complex fruity and floral notes. Our XXXX Reserve delivers on that promise with a classic habanero flavor profile and a quadruple dose of heat that's perfect for spice lovers. But here's the kicker – it's not just about the heat. Tasting Table found that Melinda's XXXX Reserve is packed with savory flavors from carrots, onions, and garlic, with a hint of tart lime to balance out the spice that made it stand out. The editor states, "Ultimately, for less than $5 a bottle, I'd say that Melinda's XXXX Reserve is a worthwhile purchase. The sauce delivers on spice, is loaded with complex and delicious flavors, and is aesthetically and aromatically pleasing." The article also notes that unlike brands that provide water- and vinegar-based hot sauces with only a simple pepper flavor, we offer a wide array of options for our customers to find the perfect fiery accompaniment that pairs with any meal. https://lnkd.in/gJnjbbPe
