High Desert Ghost of Saffron is a medium, taco-inspired flavor bomb: Scotch bonnet and ghost peppers for a complex, satisfying burn, with fire-roasted tomato and carrot, roasted garlic and onion, toasted cumin, lime and just a whisper of saffron. Avocado oil gives it a luxurious mouthfeel.

It’s much more than a taco sauce, High Desert says; try it on tacos, burritos, nachos and other Mexican food. Its siblings are Hotter Ghost of Saffron and Ghost of Saffron Mustard. High Desert Sauce Co., started by Zac Perkins in 2018, makes all of its sauces by hand in Tucson, Arizona.

About the maker

High Desert Sauce Co.

Tucson, Arizona hot sauces from Zac Perkins, who traded barbecue sauce for hot sauce in 2017 and hasn’t looked back.

Ghost of Saffron is the standout: a taco-style scotch bonnet and ghost pepper sauce with saffron and avocado oil, now in a Hotter version too. The range reads like a menu, with Fire Roasted Green and FIRE! Roasted Red, After Dark and Date Night Adobo, Not Mama’s Chamoy, Tikk-HOT Masala, Smoky Chiltepin and Reaper’s Fuzzy Navel. Hot is the biggest group, with plenty of mild and medium bottles too. Read our maker spotlight.
