Dorval Trading Co., Ltd. 800.367.8252 www.dorvaltrading.com DORVAL Introduces GNAW CHOCOLATE Dave's Gourmet creamy hot sauces are part of a new trend in hot sauces that's picking up steam in the market. These newer hot sauces have more complex savory flavors and a more interesting tex- ture than traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. The creamy sauces are also more versatile. Dave's Creamy Hot Sauces are actually vegan and gluten free, but they are whipped at high speed to make them creamy. Numerous chains, in- cluding Whole Foods, have picked up the sauces and they are growing really quickly. You should also expect to see them on se- lect restaurant tabletops in the next couple of years. These sauces are both sauce and salsa and have roots in Mexi- can regional cuisine, but can also be used with pizza, wings and so much more. These creamy hot sauces are in the mild to medium range and come in three flavors: Roasted Jalapeño, Red Pepper Garlic and Ginger Citrus.
