Pepper Dog Salsa is a North Carolina original, but don't let that fool you: this salsa has authentic flavor and is as good as any fresh-made restaurant salsa. The texture is thick, not watery, and the heat comes from a blend of jalapeno and habanero peppers. There's no vinegary aftertaste, either, like you'll find in many store brands. Pepper Dog Hot Salsa is fiery enough to satisfy your need for some burn (we consider it to be medium-hot), but not so fiery that it will overpower your tastebuds. The heat does build with every bite, however! We fell in love with Pepper Dog Salsa the first time we tried it, and we think you will, too. A Goodness Grows in NC product. Shake well before opening.
