Champion: Vadasz Hot Jalapeno Sauce

Hot sauce was a pivot for the Vadasz brand, which has specialised in kimchi, fresh pickles and ferments until now. The brand noted the increasing premiumisation in the ambient sauces category – with hot sauce in particular a rapidly growing subcategory – but wanted to avoid the pasteurisation and high sugar that often puts off more health-conscious shoppers.

The Vadasz team collected an award from Jamie Laing and Adam Leyland

That’s why its Hot Jalapeno Sauce is chilled. It uses the same cold-brined process that it applies to its relishes and pickles to ensure the sauce packs a punch and ensures each bottles contains less than 5% added sugar. The end result is a “fantastic fresh aroma and flavour” with a “great spice level that lingers on the palate” and a “lovely, vibrant pack” that helps it stand out on shelf.
