Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce

This is the bottle that never makes it back to the fridge. Around here we call it Vermont’s Table Sauce.

We start with sweet Vermont onions, slow-smoked over maple wood until they’re deeply savory and perfectly naturally sweet. Then we blend them with red jalapeños to create a well balanced hot sauce that’s smoky, bright, and endlessly versatile.

Featured on Season 7 of Hot Ones and our best-selling sauce for a reason, it’s a medium-heat crowd-pleaser that belongs on just about everything. Pizza, eggs, beans, burgers, roasted vegetables… if it’s on your plate, this sauce probably makes it better.

Leave the bottle on the table. You’ll reach for it constantly.

Ingredients: Red jalapeños*, white vinegar, maple wood smoked onions*, salt. * All produce is grown  on a small farm within 200 miles of our Vermont kitchen

Heat: 🔥🔥🔥 (3/6)

Amazing flavor and amazing service. My three sons are the household experts on "hot sauce." All three guys absolutely loved the Maple Wood Smoked Onion Sauce. Attention to detail is an obvious focus of the Butterfly Bakery of Vermont. I'm looking forward to trying other sauces from your collection. Keep up the great work.

Don't pass on this, if you like onions and some heat. Mild to medium heat, this one would be a great marinade!!! Flank steak or chicken.

Admittedly I would've knocked off a star only because it's not hot enough! But this was my entry point hot sauce before I found my preferred heat level, and still this is a go-to table sauce when I just want flavor and a good heat. I will always buy this one for the sheer flavor factor.

This one, has a nice sweet flavor. Balanced with an aromatic smoke flavor, Not overbearing, or biter. Love the fleshy onion texture..has some heat to it, if your expecting a mild sauce. Yummy

We discovered this hot sauce on a trip to Waterbury VT and my husband has deemed it his absolute favorite. So grateful I was able to order it directly from the source (along with some new things to try) Love everything about this company!

Spicier than anticipated because of the Hot Ones show, but it’s a fantastic wings sauce. Haven’t tried it on other stuff yet, but looking forward to it!

Love BBVT hot sauces! These (& the bonus bottle) were all 3/6 peppers, a Jalapeño base that goes really well with my eggs, cheese, & bacon breakfast!

How We Make Our Hot Sauce

It All Starts With The Farmers

Our hot sauces begin in the soil. We work directly with small farms that grow the chili peppers, onions, and herbs that make each bottle unique. Every harvest is different, which means every batch has its own personality. Supporting our farmers keeps our ingredients fresh, our flavors clear, and our community strong.

The Magic of Flavor First

We don’t chase heat. We chase flavor. Our small-batch sauces are built to be bold, balanced, and unforgettable, whether they’re starring on a breakfast sandwich or standing up to barbecue. We focus on balance, freshness, and the kind of depth that only comes from small-batch care. Every sauce is crafted to make food taste better, not just hotter.
Bottled for the Bold

We bottle every drop in our kitchen in Barre, Vermont. The result is a lineup of sauces that has landed on Hot Ones, earned praise from acclaimed chefs, and kept Vermont on the flavor map. If you’re ready for real heat with real heart, this is your sauce.
