To honor our heritage, Cholula® Hot Sauce was named after a city in Mexico that is 2,500 years old - making it the oldest inhabited city in North America. Cholula® has been made in Mexico since its inception. Our complex flavor comes from a family recipe that has been handed down through many generations, blending native arbol and pequin peppers with an array of regional spices. From our distinctive wooden cap to the delicious sauce inside, every bottle of Cholula® is a celebration of great food, robust flavour, and our Mexican roots. Today, Cholula® is a fixture in many homes and restaurants. We are proud to bring a little bit of Mexican tradition and craftmanship to your meals.

We’ve heard several interesting takes but it’s Choe-loo-la.

For our products in glass bottles, such as the Hot Sauce, Cooking Sauces and Salsas, yes; you can recycle the glass after removing the cap.

Our Seasoning Mixes in pouch are also recyclable and our Cremosa Sauces in plastic bottles as well.

There are many creative ways to recycle the Cholula® bottle! We’ve seen vases, pencil holders, wind chimes, soap dispensers, tiny pet water bowls, and even a cap charm bracelet. We love when our fans share all the interesting ways they’ve found new life for their bottle and cap.

We are glad to help you find your favourite product! We can help find a retailer in your area that carries what you are looking for. Find the product on our website and click the “Find A Retailer” box to access online retailers as well as stores near you that carry the product.

We do suggest contacting the store prior to making a special trip to ensure it is still in stock. If your local store doesn’t show up on our locator, we advise you to speak with your store manager about availability as they may be able to order it for you.

If you are still unable to locate the product you are looking for, check our Discontinued Product List to ensure it is still being manufactured, or Contact Us directly for assistance.

Clear space in your cabinet because Cholula® Hot Sauce does not need to be kept cool. Cholula® Hot Sauce is best used within the first six months after opening.

To enjoy the best flavour, we recommend that Cholula® be consumed within six months of opening, and within its shelf life.

Cholula® sauce can be consumed past 6 months of opening as long as still within its Best By date. However, the product is more exposed to oxygen which accelerates the degradation of color and flavour. There is no health risk, but the flavour will not be the same.

We don’t recommend consuming Cholula® past its Best By date.

Since mid-2018, our products have been stamped with Best By dates and a lot code number beneath. Prior to mid-2018, a Julian date code was used. If your bottle does not have an explicit Best By date, we do not recommend consuming. There is no health risk, but the flavour will not be the same.

The location of the BB/MA will depend by the type of Cholula® product.
