Nando's Peri-Peri Pepper Products

The renowned Nando's Chickenland restaurants helped introduce the African peri-peri, or birds-eye, pepper to the rest of the world. Made in South Africa, all of the Nando's products feature the exotic peri-peri pepper, and blend it with traditional Portuguese, African, Asian and other ingredients to tantalize your tastebuds. Now you can get the original Nando's Peri-Peri Hot Sauces, as well as mouthwatering Nando's Marinades and Grilling Sauces in Barbecue, Lime-Cilantro and Sundried Tomato-Basil.

Kosher Products

If you're looking for Kosher hot sauce, kosher barbecue sauce, Kosher seasonings and other Kosher products, you're in luck! For your convenience, we've assembled a page where you can see all the different Kosher Products we offer in our online store. We even have a Kosher Sauces Gift Set featuring five delectable Israeli sauces that are Kosher Parev OU. We'll keep adding to our selection of Kosher certified zesty products, so keep checking back for new arrivals.

Chile Pepper Soaps

Carolina Sauce is where to shop for beautiful, hand-made chile soaps from New Mexico. No, they won't burn your skin - they're made with glycerin and natural oils, not hot peppers, so they will soothe and pamper your skin. The red chile soaps are scented with spicy cinnamon and the green chile soaps are scented with zesty lime. Chile soaps are available in single chile soap bars, and in 5-bar chile soap ristras, which also make pretty wall decorations.

Barbeque Sauce and Dry Rubs

The Carolina Sauce Company is located in the heart of barbeque country, and we've got a special affection for the local barbeque sauces. While many might consider the superiority of dry rubs or mustard-, tomato- or vinegar-based barbeque sauces to be a religious debate, we love them all. We're also crazy about Alabama-style, mayonnaise-based white barbeque sauce! And that's why we have the most comprehensive collection of North Carolina barbeque sauce available on the web, along with other tasty BBQ sauces from around the US. We also have an extensive selection of dry rubs and seasonings. You could spend hours researching different barbeque recipes and slaving in the kitchen trying to perfect your barbeque sauce or rub recipe, OR you could spend just a few minutes here and select a delicious award-winning sauce or rub that's sure to please your palate. Whether you spell it Barbecue, Barbeque or BBQ, and whether you like your ribs wet or dry, you'll find the perfect sauce or rub for your grilling masterpieces right here! We also have hot sauce, if you need some heat to wake up your homemade barbecue sauce recipe.

Santo and Josie Pasta Sauces

We generally don't like spaghetti sauce in a jar. When we do use it, we end up adding in extra mushrooms, peppers, onions, garlic, sausage, herbs and seasonings -- and by then we've basically done all the work to make it from scratch! Santo & Josie gourmet Sicilian pasta sauces turn that thinking upside down. These spaghetti sauces are soooo good that you can boil your spaghetti or pasta and pour the sauce on right from the jar. The Tomato Artichoke Pasta Sauce is our favorite, but the Tomato Eggplant Pasta Sauce and Tomato Olive Pasta Sauce are also wonderful. And not only do these gourmet pasta sauces deliver authentic, slow-cooked, Old World flavor, but they're also preservative-free. Santo & Josie Pasta Sauce is only available at a few gourmet stores across the Carolinas, and of course it's a featured product at the Carolina Sauce Company.

Jim's Own Barbeque Sauce

We first ran across Jim's Own BBQ Sauce in a gourmet store. It's a deliciously tangy and slightly sweet North Carolina style barbeque sauce, but without the overpowering vinegar taste. The original recipe for Jim's Own Homestyle BBQ Sauce and Jim's Own Hot Bar-B-Que Sauce was born in Jim's mother's kitchen over 50 years ago, and Jim started bottling and selling the tasty family sauce in 1997. Since then Jim has won numerous awards in local cookoffs as well as a loyal following among North Carolina barbeque afficionados. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jim's Own Homestyle BBQ Sauce, Jim unveiled this great new label for his great sauce - but thankfully the recipe remains unchanged. Hearty and healthy, Jim's Own Homestyle and Hot Bar-B-Que Sauces are all-natural, have zero fat, and are cholesterol and gluten free. If you live in North Carolina, you might be able to find Jim's Own Bar-B-Que Sauces at a local grocery store, but the Carolina Sauce Company is the only place on the web where you can order this delicious NC barbecue sauce. Try it today and you'll understand why Jim's Own Sauce is what all the best-dressed pigs are wearing!

Buy Dave's Insanity Private Reserve Hot Sauce 2009 Edition Here!

When nothing but the very best (and hottest) will do, there's Dave's Gourmet Insanity Private Reserve. The wooden coffin wrapped in yellow 'caution' tape only hints at the incendiary power of this hot sauce! With three times the heat of the original Dave's Insanity Sauce, Dave's Gourmet Private Reserve Insanity Hot Sauce is not for the faint of tongue (or heart). Produced in small batches each year, with each bottle numbered and hand-signed by Dave himself, the Insanity Private Reserve sauce is a valuable collector's item. In fact, Dave's Gourmet claims a bottle from an earlier year sold for $1,000! Don't despair: you can now buy the 2009 edition of Dave's Private Reserve here for far less, while supplies last...

Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce Gift Sets

Now you can own (and try, if you dare) the full line of Dave's Insanity hot sauces, at a discount price by ordering our Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce Gift Set! The "mildest" (which are still insanely hot) are Temporary Insanity hot sauce and Total Insanity hot sauce, both of which can "safely" be used directly on food and are a notch below the original Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce in heat. For the truly courageous (or insane) fire-eater, there's Dave's Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce, which, like the original Insanity Hot Sauce, is actually a food additive to be used with care in cooking rather than directly on served food.
For chileheads who are truly crazy for capsaicin, you can't go wrong with our specially-priced Dave's Insanity Deluxe Gift Set featuring the four flavors of Dave's Insanity hot sauces plus Insanity Popcorn, Insanity Salsa and Insanity Mustard!

Cackalacky!

The original Cackalacky Spice Sauce is an all-natural, award-winning sauce that will add zesty flavor to all your favorite dishes. If you're looking for a spicy but not too hot alternative to boring vinegary hot sauces, then Cackalacky Spice Sauce is the answer to your prayers. Cackalacky: Funny name, seriously great taste!

North Carolina Products

If you are looking for authentic NC barbecue sauce and other products made in North Carolina, look no further than our North Carolina Products page! From pork rinds to peanuts, western NC or Piedmont style BBQ sauce to vinegar-based eastern NC barbeque sauce, Bone Suckin' Sauce to Toad Sweat Dessert Hot Sauces, Cackalacky and Carolina Swamp Sauce, you can find them all in our North Carolina section (as well as on the product category pages).

Low Carb, No Carb Sauces

Did you know that most hot sauces are very low in carbohydrates, and many are zero carb? Likewise, most Eastern NC barbecue sauces are also low carb, because they're vinegar-based and usually have no tomatoes or sweeteners. What's great about the low carb diet is that not only do you get to eat meat, but you can make it taste good, too! We've put together a section of Low Carb Sauces in our store to help you out. Of course, some of these sauces may say ZERO carbs on the label, but actually have < 1.0 carbs, so be careful. But for almost any of these, a little dab will do ya!

It seems as if everyone has a cute slogan for their hot sauce website, so we've been racking our brains to come up with one. So far, we've decided that none of these will be our slogan. If you're easily offended, then you won't want to Read the List!

This Hawg is Cool! Cool Hawg Grilling Sauce from Beck's was a great find. Another Goodness Grows in North Carolina product, we found this barbeque sauce at a local hot dog stand. Cool Hawg is a thick low country barbeque style grilling sauce. It has a hint of vinegar, lots of smoky tomatoes, the tang of mustard, and a zing of pepper. Use Cool Hawg as a marinade and a glaze for grilling. And we're the only place on the web you can get it! Cool Hawg is now also available in Hot N Spicy style, and it was the 2nd Place winner for American Style Hot BBQ Sauce at the 2006 Scovie Awards! And if you need a cool gift for your favorite Grill-Master, check out the Cool Hawg Grilling Gift Set, featuring a bottle of each Cool Hawg sauce, real hickory chips for the grill, a basting brush, and a Cool Hawg "koozy" to keep your favorite beverage cool, all in a sturdy wooden gift box!
