Totec's Teeth Extra Hot Pasilla & Plum Sauce – 9 oz

Homero Gonzalez founded Harmacy Hot Sauce Co. in Cookeville, Tennessee, on Christmas Day 2020. Inspired by his Cuban upbringing and his grandmother's cooking, he began making sauces to share with friends while studying electrical engineering. Their encouragement helped turn the hobby into a business centered on distinctive flavors and balanced heat. The company makes its sauces in-house in small batches and emphasizes care in preparation, creative recipes and the pleasure of sharing good food.

Totec's Teeth Extra Hot Pasilla & Plum Sauce – 9 oz

Totec's Teeth is the extra hot counterpart to Totec's Tears, pairing dried chiles and plum with a superhot pepper blend. The producer rates it at 9/10 and describes a thick, smoky-fruity sauce. Ghost, Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion peppers sit alongside guajillo, ancho and pasilla in the product's flavor story.

The finished sauces are manufactured in Cookeville, Tennessee, United States. Harmacy's in-house production is described by the maker and its Pick Tennessee producer listing. This identifies where the sauce is made; the growing countries of individual peppers, fruit and spices have not been established.

Flavor and serving ideas

Begin with a small spoonful beside a serving of grilled meat. For chili, add a little to an individual bowl before seasoning the full pot. The sauce's plum and dried-chile notes make it a useful comparison with fruitier citrus sauces, but its extra hot rating calls for measured portions.

• Try with barbecue and grilled beef or pork.
• Try with chili and hearty stews.
• Try with Mexican-inspired dishes.

Product specifications

This listing is for the named 9 oz sauce, rather than a mixed assortment. Use the quantity and the specific flavor selection when comparing a single jar with a variety pack.

Storage and handling

The maker's FAQ gives an unopened shelf life of two years and instructs customers to refrigerate after opening and use within two months. Follow the best-by date on the jar; the amount of unopened storage time remaining depends on the production batch. Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place.

Use a clean spoon when portioning the sauce, wipe the rim as needed and close the lid after serving. For a gift set or tasting, keep track of when each jar was opened so the storage directions remain easy to follow.
