K-9 Unit and Bite Hot Sauces
K-9 Unit Hot Sauce – Medium Heat, Maximum Bite
Meet K-9 Unit, a hot sauce that’s always on the trail. Inspired by the fearless Belgian Malinois of the police K-9 teams, this bold and balanced blend tracks down flavour with military precision. With garlic, ginger, and clove leading the chase, and just enough Carolina Reaper to keep your taste buds alert, this sauce brings the heat without going rogue.
Crafted with bell pepper, tomato, onion, and a hint of apple cider vinegar, K-9 Unit is smooth, aromatic, and ready for duty—whether it’s on your grilled meats, roasted veggies, or next-level sandwiches.
On the label, our four-legged officer tears down a trail with Calgary’s skyline in the distance—because just like the real K-9s, this sauce is loyal, powerful, and built Alberta tough.
Tag it, track it, taste it. K-9 Unit is on patrol.
Why Non-Vinegar Based?
🔥 1. Pure Flavor Expression
Vinegar can overpower delicate or complex ingredients. Without it, garlic, ginger, herbs, and peppers have room to shine naturally. You get layers of taste, not just a tangy punch.
🌿 2. Better Pairing with Food
Non-vinegar sauces don’t clash with cream sauces, BBQ, marinades, or stir-fries. They're more versatile in cooking because they blend in instead of standing out.
👃 3. Balanced Aroma
Without the strong acidic smell, the spices and aromatics—like rosemary or cloves—come forward. It’s a more inviting, rounded profile.
🍅 4. Smoother Mouthfeel
Vinegar can give a sharp, puckering bite. Non-vinegar sauces are usually softer and richer, which can be more enjoyable when used generously.
