Bright, bold and full of fire.

A small-batch habanero hot sauce crafted in Bristol by Masa Tortillas, inspired by true Mexican flavour.

£4.50

This hot sauce has a striking balance — bright habanero heat paired with real depth and clarity. The mellow carrot base, a squeeze of lime, and that clean pepper flavour create warmth that builds gradually rather than overwhelming. It’s bold, but in a way that feels deliberate and well-crafted.

MASA make everything with intention, drawing on authentic Mexican techniques while producing small-batch sauces here in the UK. You can taste that care in the way the heat unfolds: sharp at first, then settling into a warm, citrusy finish that lifts whatever you pair it with. It’s a favourite at home too — we have it on eggs in the morning, and it never disappoints.

In our Celebration Box, it brings an unexpected spark — a lively, flavour-forward element that adds contrast and character. It’s the kind of bottle people reach for again and again, long after the hamper is opened.

Made by the team behind Bristol’s favourite authentic tortillas, Masa’s Habanero Hot Sauce packs a punch in all the right ways. It’s vibrant, citrusy and fiery, with the fruity heat of real habanero chillies balanced by a clean, natural acidity.

This hot sauce is made in small batches using simple, honest ingredients — no additives, no thickeners, no shortcuts. Just proper chillies, natural flavour, and the same respect for Mexican food culture that defines everything Masa makes.

Designed originally to accompany their heritage-corn tortillas, this sauce now finds its way onto eggs, tacos, roasted veg, grilled meats, and pretty much anything that needs lifting. It’s the kind of bottle that disappears faster than you expect.

And yes, that is Pixie, The Local cat.

Since 2015 we’ve been on a mission to share the real taste of Mexico and Central America with the UK. What started with hand-pressed tortillas for our taco truck The Little Taquero quickly grew into something much bigger.

For over three years, our truck fed the hungry South West with tacos made on fresh, hand-made tortillas. But as demand grew, our hands alone couldn’t keep up. Determined never to compromise on quality, we brought in a tortilla machine – imported directly from Mexico – to help us stay true to tradition.

Valentines Day Surprises

Great items and wonderful presentation. Sent early to avoid disappointment. The team were super accommodating when an extra order of hot sauce was added to avoid a delay. We loved all the products.

Biscuits & Customer service excellent

These biscuits were delicious and packaged beautifully. Customer service was also excellent, I had a slight problem with delivery dates but Brittany sorted it immediately and made sure we had our biscuits on time for Burns Night. Would definitely recommend, thank again!

Give a gift they'll actually want

Excellent gifting service - highly recommend. For people who are looking for a high quality, curated hamper rather than something full of mass-produced chutneys that will gather dust at the back of your cupboard. The handwritten note adds to the personal touch, and the free delivery was very efficient. Don't give your money to The Man, support The Local!

An Amazing Gift

We were given a hamper from The Local as a present after having a baby and I can honestly tell you it was the best thing.

Incredibly luxurious and full of things that you won't find anywhere else, plus it was delivered in less than 24 hours.

I never normally write reviews, but I love this business and I love this concept and will be a long time customer so thought I would make an exception and show my support.

Best Hampers

Best. Hampers. Ever! Seriously, I couldn't recommend these more. I bought two beautiful Christmas hampers for family and they absolutely loved them. All the produce is top quality and I've gone on to buy the coffee and wine for myself. So nice to support a growing local business too 🙏 Thanks for a great service.

The produce from their hamper was…

The produce from their hamper was incredible. Very high quality produce, delivered on time and packaged beautifully. This was a perfect gift from one of our business partners. We especially enjoyed the local sparkling wine and my wife is in love with the quality of the coffee. If I could give 6 stars, I would! Will be contacting The Local in the new year for some gift ideas for our suppliers.
