Frequently asked questions
What makes Maria's hot sauces different?
No flavors. No emulsifiers. No junk. Just real ingredients. Every bottle is made in small batches — the kind of ingredients you'd find in your own kitchen. We don't cut corners, and we don't hide behind fancy additives. What you taste is what we grew and crafted, plain and simple.
Where do you source your ingredients?
From local farms right here in our community. Real flavor starts in the soil, and I work directly with farmers who grow with care. By sourcing locally, we're supporting our growers, reducing food waste, and ensuring the freshest ingredients make it into every bottle.
How long do the sauces last once opened?
Because we use real ingredients without preservatives, refrigerate after opening and enjoying within 6-9 months for peak freshness. But honestly? Most people finish them way before that.
Do you ship locally or offer delivery?
Yes! We are located in Traverse City, MI and at numerous markets in the area during the summer. Send us a message to coordinate your pickup!
Can I buy in bulk or wholesale?
Absolutely. We offer wholesale pricing for retailers, restaurants, and cafés. Minimum order is 2 cases (12 bottles per case). Shoot me a message and let's chat!
Are your sauces gluten-free/vegan/etc.?
YES! *most* of our sauces are gluten-free/vegan. Be sure to check the listed ingredients or shoot us a message if you have additional ingredient inquiries about our small batch sauces.
