It’s perfect for spicing up everyday staples like scrambled eggs or burgers, but also works well in more sophisticated dishes like shrimp scampi or roasted vegetables. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding it to marinades or dressings for an extra kick of flavour.

Apostle Hot Sauce is made with all-natural ingredients, which means no harmful preservatives or chemicals. You can have your spice and eat healthy too! The blend of peppers, spices, and herbs is what makes this hot sauce stand apart from others on the market. You can rest assured that everything you’re putting into your body is of the highest quality.

The Label:

Okay, we know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s be real – the label on a hot sauce bottle is what catches your eye first. And Apostle Hot Sauce’s label is gorgeous. It features a bold, colourful design by talented artist Juju that’s inspired by traditional religious iconography. It’s a real showstopper that looks great on any kitchen countertop and is always pretty enough to gift.

Sustainability: 

At Apostle Hot Sauce HQ, there is much thoughtful consideration of their impact on the environment throughout all aspects of their business. 

Firstly, in NZ there is a bottle return system. The aim is to keep as many of the bottles out of the recycling system as possible. There are 27 return locations across New Zealand from Invercargill to Whangarei and you can simply drop your clean, empty bottles off to one these locations and they will be sent back to be sanitised and refilled with delicious sauce time and time again. ⁠For a full list of locations please take a look at the return bottle locations page here.

Wherever possible Apostle Hot Sauce use locally sourced ingredients and create as little food waste as possible, any that is unavoidably created such as chilli seeds and capsicum stalks, are composted.
