To use, simply shake the bottle well before opening. You can then pour or drizzle the sauce directly onto your food.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker, creamier hot sauces, this one is much thinner and more vinegary. It relies on the pure flavor of the peppers and vinegar rather than added ingredients like garlic or fruit. This makes it a more direct and less complex heat source, allowing the original flavors of the food to remain prominent.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store the bottle in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or refrigerator. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and prevent spoilage. This will help maintain its quality for an extended period.
