Nice Vinegar Hot Sauce October 30, 2006

This is not your grandfather's Tabasco. With all due respect to Tabasco, I've never liked the flavor of that hot sauce. Cholula is about the same level of heat, but with a better flavor.
One of the best hot sauces July 26, 2006
It's not terribly hot, but the flavor is probably the best I've ever found in a hot sauce. As another person said, it isn't heavy in the vinegar taste found in Tabasco sauce or other sauces. The only food I don't really use it in is that where I want a really high heat level (and for that purpose I'll usually use fresh peppers instead anyway).
If I had one suggestion, I would LOVE to see this company release a hot version (in addition to the current version). Piquin/Chiltepin peppers are actually some of the hottest out there, so the Cholula people are definitely using small quantities of it in the sauce. I wouldn't change the flavor at all, though, just up the pequin content.
My absolute favorite hot sauce August 5, 2006
I can't rate this sauce highly enough. It's not especially hot, (if you're looking for something to sear your tongue with, may I recommend one of Dave's Insanity Sauces?) but has an incredible flavor. I'm nuts about pequin peppers, and this sauce has got 'em!

I prefer the Mexican hot sauces, mainly Cholula and Tapa Tio, to Tabasco, which I find too vinegary. If you've never tried any of the Mexican sauces, Cholula would be a good start. It has an interesting blend of chiles you won't find anywhere else. And while it's definitely picante (which is kind of the point in a hot sauce) it's not hot enough to burn your tongue.
Also, it comes in a neat-looking bottle with a wooden stopper on top. Very classy when you put it out on the table for company to try.

According to its makers, Cholula has been available in Mexico for three generations and imported to the U.S. for about 12 years. Named after a region of Mexico known for its ruins and ancient sites, Cholula is quickly becoming a hot sauce staple in the U.S. The bottle is a classic, with the yellow label, picture of a woman, and wood cap (the wood contains a plastic cap so that the sauce won't be contaminated).The main ingredient of Cholula is the piquin pepper (also sometimes spelled "pequin"), which is a dried chile with the formal name "capsicum annuum." In terms of flavor, Cholula is definitely distinctive. The dried chiles add a slightly smoky essence with more dimension than Tabasco or similar hot sauces. The heat level is fairly moderate, which allows the sauce to season your food while not overwhelming it. However, the sauce sometimes seems a little watery or bland. Cholula adds great flavor to a variety of foods, although I like it best on scrambled eggs; a plethora of recipes are available on the official website. With only 20mg of sodium per teaspoon, Cholula is one of the best sauces available for persons trying to avoid sodium. However, it may taste a bit plain to persons who enjoy a high salt content in their hot sauce.
