Belize is a hot place, not just because we are 17 degrees north of the equator, but because we love spice! A bottle of hot sauce or ‘peppa sauce’ is found on every table of every household and restaurant throughout the country.
Hamanasi’s homemade pepper sauce is made with fresh ingredients from our certified organic farm or locally sourced. Guests frequently fall in love with the smoky flavor and touch of heat that comes with this pepper sauce. Prior to departing Hamanasi you can purchase this pepper sauce to take home, but what happens when you run out?! You have two solutions: come back for another visit to refill your pepper sauce or try making a batch from your very own kitchen!
