Hungry Volcano's latest creation - the Lava Trio - was recently recognized with an honourable mention at the annual Made in Alberta Awards.

These new molten lava-inspired sauces were launched in 2021. The sauces are hand made in small batches in Calgary and were designed these to have a fun “hotsy-turvy” effect. Each sauce is named after an actual volcano, and the clear labels let you see the vibrant colours of each one.

The lava trio includes:

• Kick ‘Em Jenny – when you want to kick things up a notch (less than a mountain, but more than a molehill), Jenny’s your girl. Not your grandma’s hot sauce; it’s our grandma’s hot sauce – and she was one spicy lady.
• Baratangy – More than a zip, this sauce zaps! But under all the fire and brimstone that the peppers pack, you can still taste the citrus, sugar, tamarind and vinegar – now, how ‘bout that?
• Piping Piparo – Piping Piparo picked a pile of piping hot peppers and just a pinch of it will punish your palate! Some like it hot, but few can handle it this hot.

They're quickly becoming some of our best sellers!

Father's Day is quickly approaching and we've got a few of our favourites on sale. Some will make your dad laugh, some will make him cry and some will make him fire up the barbecue and cook you dinner! Who can argue with that?

These start on the milder side and by the end, they are beyond hot.

Sir Fartalot’s Hot Sauce
The only "round table" this sauce will ever see is your kitchen table. Sir Farts-A-Lot is made with gas producing jalapeno peppers and tequila. It is guaranteed to have the Queen of your house calling for a beheading, or at least a window to be opened!

Grandma Shivji’s Chile, Lime & Habanero Hot Sauce
This locally made hot sauce has great flavor and medium heat. This sauce lets you enjoy delicious tangy and limey taste with a nice kick. Amazing with fish tacos!

Doc Holliday’s Feel Good Elixir Hot Sauce

Pepperking Ring of Fire Hot Sauce
This sauce is made with locally-grown peppers from Pepperking in Airdrie, Alebrta and tastes like salsa. It is great on chicken, fish, lamb. Also, it's sensational on all vegetables as a dipping sauce.

Reaper Racha Hot Sauce
For all the Siracha lovers who say Siracha is not hot enough! This sauce is the Puckerbutt Company’s version of Siracha with a wild kick from the Carolina Reaper Peppers! It has a beautiful tomato base which goes well with absolutely anything!

Voodoo Prince Black Mamba Hot Sauce
This sauce is a deadly cocktail of flavor and heat! The black pepper and cumin give it a rich spicy flavor and the ghost pepper gives it that kick. This sauce goes good on burgers and ribs. Eat at your own risk.

Hellfire First Blood Hot Sauce
First Blood features the fresh all-natural flavor of the finest superheat peppers no added vinegar. It has a very high pepper content making it a super thick sauce. With heat from Trinidad Scorpions, Primo 7 Pot, Naga Bhut Jolokia and Red Savina Habaneros and flavor from sundried tomatoes, garlic, sea salt and a touch of cumin and lemon juice, this sauce tastes great on just about anything.

Get these sauces on sale until Father's Day.

Calgary, Alberta, April 30, 2021 /  Hungry Volcano, makers of hot sauces like Acid Rain and Alberta Crude, launched a new line of hot sauces today. Hot sauce lovers across North America can get their hands on these fiery concoctions at hungryvolcano.com or at select retailers in the coming weeks.

The pandemic gave Hungry Volcano founder Sam Shivji a unique opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen experimenting. “I heard from our customers that they were making their own hot wings in the air fryer or experimenting with different flavours on the barbecue. It got me motivated to do my own cooking,” says Sam.

The new molten lava-inspired sauces are hand made in small batches in Calgary. “We have a small but mighty team that rolled up their sleeves and put on some gas masks – N95s just don’t cut it when you’re dealing with Scorpion peppers.”

Hungry Volcano collaborated with local agency Daughter Creative on the design of the new line. Jill Dewes, partner at Daughter, noted: “When you really think about it, hot sauce bottles are just upside-down volcanoes, so we designed these to have a fun “hotsy-turvy” effect, where each sauce is named after an actual volcano, and the clear labels let you see the vibrant colours of each one.”

The new range is launching with three varieties:

• Kick ‘Em Jenny – when you want to kick things up a notch (less than a mountain, but more than a molehill), Jenny’s your girl. Not your grandma’s hot sauce; it’s our grandma’s hot sauce – and she was one spicy lady.
• Baratangy – More than a zip, this sauce zaps! But under all the fire and brimstone that the peppers pack, you can still taste the citrus, sugar, tamarind and vinegar – now, how ‘bout that?
• Piping Piparo – Piping Piparo picked a pile of piping hot peppers and just a pinch of it will punish your palate! Some like it hot, but few can handle it this hot.

For fans of Hungry Volcano’s other sauces, you’ll taste the signature flavour you find in Hatari Brothers, Grandma Shivji and Addiction brand products. But these sauces have some new flavours, and some crazy hot peppers like Scorpions, Habaneros, Piquins and Scotch Bonnets.

The trio will be available at hungryvolcano.com and the Calgary Crossroads Market starting today.

The Da Bomb Collection of Hot Sauces have been the talk of town for quite some time now. Everyone has a love-hate relationship with these bad boys. They've been featured on the Hot Ones and have caught the eye of countless pepperheads around the globe.

Da Bomb has four sauces in their collection - let's explore from the "least hot" to the deadliest!

We begin with Da Bomb Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce. This is the mildest in the collection, but it still packs a punch! With 22,800 scoville heat units, this sauce has sort of an enjoyable heat that you want to keep going back to. The sauce uses the ghost pepper which has a lovely fresh chili flavor with a little sweetness from the mango and a nice tanginess from the lime and tomato. This is the perfect "no extract" sauce for making someone sweat, while still being quite enjoyable on food.

Next we have Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce. This is the sauce that started it all. And the one featured on the Hot Ones! Standing at 135,600 Scoville heat units, this sauce has a smoky flavour, with a led like heat that will not only knock your socks off, but also everything you have on! Use sparingly!

We now move on to Da Bomb Ground Zero Hot Sauce. Measuring at 321,900 Scoville heat units, this hot sauce is nothing to be messing with. The sauce has a hint of sweetness from the pineapple with a smoky touch and a chemical like burn. Yow!

Lastly, the sauce that is the crown jewel of the Da Bomb collection - Da Bomb Final Answer Hot Sauce. This is a no-nonsense sauce with a Scoville rating of 1,500,000 units even comes with it’s own a stick-like dropper attached to the inside of the bottle cap. It has apricots and garlic, which gives is it a hint of tangy-sweet taste, but it's quickly over-powered by the intense chemical-like burn that will leave you in pain. This sauce is nothing you should mess with! Beware and use sparingly!
