VALENTINA
HOT SAUCE
From
GUADALAJARA, MEXICO



Valentina has become my favorite Hot Sauce of the past 3 years or so .. I picked it up at a .99 Cent Store one day, a 12 oz. bottle is just $1.29, average price of Tabasco is about $3.99 for a 5 oz. bottle .. It would cost me about $9 for the same amount of Tabasco or more than 7 times more expensive .. Don't get me wrong, I do love Tabasco and like its taste once and a while, it's definately destinctive and a good deal hotter, but now by most preferred Hot Sauce by far is VALENTINA from Mexico .. It's not too hot, which for my personal taste I like ..  And the spices they use has a reall nice flavor. And yes, Tabasco and some of the other brands are too dam expensive.






Before I started up with VALENEtINA I was using CRYSTAL HOT SAUCE from Louisiana for a while .. I like Hot Sauce from Louisiana and as we all know Tabasco can be a bit expensive as compare to Crystal and Valentina and some others, Crytal is way cheaper than Tabasco, but it is also a lot less hot and not as florvorful.  I did notice that in New Orleans Crytal is pretty popular and I saw it on many a restaurant table sometimes along with Tabasco and other bottles. I don't use Crystal that much any more since I discovered my fave, Valentina ... Sometimes I will have in the house; Tabasco, Valentina, and Crystal, and will mostley use Valentina, and Tabasco and Crystal here-and-there ...  
My favorite is on Scramble Eggs with buttered Peas on the side for Breakfast or a lite lunch .. Sometimes when I make FRied Eggs I like to douse on a bit of "Maggi Seasoning" with Valentina as well. These make for some super tasty fried eggs. Try em!


Crystal Claims To Be Louisiana's # 1 Hot Sauce
