Dead Red – The General’s Hot Sauce – Aged Red Cayenne, 86% Peppers, Mild Heat, The Everyday Gourmet Original

Dead Red is The General’s Hot Sauce original — a pure aged red cayenne sauce made from American-grown peppers hand-picked at exactly the right moment of ripeness, delivering an authentic, deep cayenne flavour that no mass-market hot sauce can replicate. At 86% peppers and all-natural ingredients, Dead Red is built around one thing: the genuine taste of properly aged red cayenne — rich, slightly smoky, with a mild heat that adds big flavour without adding fire. This is the everyday gourmet hot sauce that goes on everything, works for everyone at the table, and never gets old. ⚡ The pepper mash from Dead Red is also the source for Bold Gold cayenne-infused olive oil — this is the flavour the whole lineup is built around. Dead Red is where The General’s started, and it’s still the bottle that defines the brand.
