The Best Verde Hot Sauces
The "best" verde is in the eye (or tongue) of the beholder, but these are five of the most popular ones we carry, ranging from a mild, slow-cooked chile verde to a tomatillo sauce with real 7 Pot heat behind it.

01
Alderwood-smoked serranos over green tomatillo, toasted onion, and roasted garlic. Smoky, savory, and squarely medium, and the sauce that swept the 2014 Hot Pepper Awards.

Four fire-roasted chiles with lemon and garlic make a bright, tangy verde that leans on flavor rather than heat. The easy everyday bottle of the five.

Tomatillos, smoked jalapeños, and cilantro with just enough 7 Pot Primo to land at hot without tipping into extra hot. A 2019 Scovie winner, and the one to reach for when verde is usually too tame.

Nopal (prickly pear) and key lime give this the most citrus of any Marie Sharp's sauce, with green habanero for a medium burn. Unlike anything else on the shelf.
