Brand and Product Description

Derived from the Incan/Quechuan word “Q’ellu” (pronounced Kay-u), which translates to “Yellow”, Qayu Hot Sauce, was born from a traditional Peruvian family recipe that has survived the test of time (seriously, this stuff dates back to the Inca Empire).

But don’t let the name fool you – Qayu is more than hot sauce, thanks to its one-of-a-kind taste. Made up of a rich blend of natural ingredients like peppers, cilantro and onions, it has mild heat and a bold, mouth-watering flavor, like no other, that complements and elevates a wide variety of dishes.

Try it on anything and everything from chicken and steak to sandwiches, burgers, fries, chips, rice, pasta, vegetables and more. No matter how you use it, Qayu Hot Sauce is for those who crave flavor beyond what typical hot sauces provide – because flavor is the one thing we don’t skimp on. Try it on your favorite dish and make it the best you’ve ever had.
