Calabrian Chili Hot Sauce for Pizza – Medium Heat, 8 fl oz
Details
Founded in 2025 by Colby Mancasola, MOTO is an independent, family-owned food company based in San Francisco, California. The idea began with his love of Calabrian chiles and frustration with oil-filled jars that stained tablecloths. He created a squeeze-bottle sauce to make Italian pepper flavor easy to add to pizza and everyday meals. The company emphasizes simple ingredients, welcoming shared meals, and an independent approach rooted in Mancasola’s Italian heritage.
Calabrian Chili Hot Sauce for Pizza and Everyday Meals
Bring fruity, smoky Calabrian chili flavor to the table with this medium-heat hot sauce. Imported Italian chiles meet vinegar, honey, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and spices in a prepared sauce that balances savory flavor, sweetness, and tang. The squeeze bottle makes it easy to drizzle directly over a slice of pizza or offer a little sauce alongside a meal, without spooning peppers from an oily jar.
This sauce is craft-blended in Northern California. The product label identifies NorCal Sauce Worx in Sacramento, California, as its producer, while MOTO’s headquarters are in San Francisco. Its finished-product country of origin is the United States, and its Calabrian chiles are imported from Italy. Other ingredients may also be imported; the California production statement describes where the sauce is made.
