Hellfire Hot Sauce Inc. Private Reserve Gourmet Red Hot Sauce
Gourmet Red – Award-Winning Sweet & Spicy Blend
Before the superhots. Before the extreme heat challenges.
There was flavor.
From the founding kitchens of Hellfire Hot Sauce Inc. in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin comes the sauce that started it all—Private Reserve Gourmet Red.
Originally crafted in 2009, this was Hellfire’s first offering and the blueprint for everything that followed. While the hot sauce world was divided between thin vinegar-forward staples like Tabasco and extreme novelty heat like Dave’s Insanity, Hellfire set out to create something different:
A sauce built around depth.
Balance.
Real culinary flavor.
The result became a multi-award-winning classic—and a perennial favorite that continues to convert skeptics into hot sauce lovers.
Flavor First. Heat Second.
Private Reserve Gourmet Red is crafted from a carefully layered blend of:
Red jalapeños
Cayenne peppers
Anaheim chiles
These peppers provide warmth and body rather than overwhelming fire.
From there, the sauce builds richness with:
Sun-dried tomatoes
Roasted garlic
Tomatillos
Fresh cilantro
Brown sugar
Lemon and lime
Balsamic vinegar
Burgundy cooking wine
Signature spice blend
The result is a deeply complex red sauce with natural sweetness, subtle acidity, savory undertones, and just enough heat to keep things interesting.
It’s smooth. It’s balanced. It’s refined.
Heat Level: 2/10 – Mild & Approachable
Rated 2 out of 10 on the Hellfire Scoville Scale, Gourmet Red is the mildest sauce in the lineup—but never mistake mild for boring.
This sauce was intentionally designed to win over those who thought they didn’t like hot sauce. It enhances food rather than overpowering it, adding dimension without dominating the plate.
If you’re introducing someone to craft hot sauce, this is where you start.
Small Batch Craftsmanship Since Day One
Hellfire began by growing heirloom tomatoes, superhot chiles, vegetables, and herbs—sharing bold creations with friends and family long before launching the company in 2009. That hands-on culinary mindset is woven into every batch of Private Reserve Gourmet Red.
This isn’t a thin, one-note table sauce.
This is layered, slow-crafted, gourmet flavor.
It’s the sauce that defined Hellfire’s mission:
“Setting the world on fire with flavor—one bottle at a time.”
Your New Go-To Sauce
Private Reserve Gourmet Red is remarkably versatile:
Perfect on eggs and breakfast burritos
Ideal for burgers and sandwiches
Delicious on tacos and grilled chicken
Adds richness to pasta and pizza
Elevates roasted vegetables

It doesn’t demand attention. It earns it.

This is the bottle that proved hot sauce could be about flavor, not just heat. The one that turned casual eaters into enthusiasts. The one that remains a staple year after year.
Award-winning.
Flavor-driven.
Endlessly versatile.
