SOUTH BARRE, VT- January 23, 2025- Butterfly Bakery of Vermont (BBVT) is bringing the heat for the 3rd time on the hit You Tube sensation Hot Ones. BBVT may be a bakery at its roots but is now best known for its farm-to-fork hot sauces. Their newest “Hot House Hot Sauce” is #7 in the Season 26 Hot Ones line up and features a five chili pepper blend as well as tomatoes, cilantro and dill – all sourced from small farms within 200 miles of their Barre, VT kitchen.
Hot Ones, now in its 10th year, is a blockbuster celebrity interview show where host Sean Evans asks deeply researched questions while he and the guest eat progressively spicier chicken wings. Each season the show chooses 6 new craft hot sauces from thousands of entries and 3 times now, one of those sauces has been Vermont’s own Butterfly Bakery of Vermont.
“We really love developing new sauces for Hot Ones and it’s so much fun to see the celebrity reactions each week,” says founder and CEO, Claire Georges. “Hot House is a delightfully complex, but surprisingly versatile sauce. Because we developed it for Hot Ones, it’s a bit hotter than our regular line up, but nothing like our last Hot Ones sauce, Taco Vibes Only.” Georges’ says that Taco Vibes Only was packed with reaper and ghost peppers and clocked in at #9 in the 10 sauce lineup.
Hot House Hot Sauce is currently available exclusively at Heatonist.com and will be available in May at ButterflyBakeryVT.com, the BBVT cannery store in Barre, VT and at stores nationwide. Celebrities can be seen enjoying Hot House Hot Sauce on the Hot Ones You Tube channel with new episodes dropping every Thursday.
Butterfly Bakery of Vermont is the largest purchaser of Vermont grown chili peppers in the world and sources 80% of their ingredients by weight from over 15 small farms across the state. “Our direct relationship with farms allows us to choose the specific varietals that taste the best in our hot sauces. And by using just a few ingredients in each of our sauces, we’re able to specifically craft our hot sauces to the flavors grown on each farm,” says Georges. Butterfly has won awards for their sauces, including their Maple Wood Smoked Onion, Vermont Maple Sriracha and their seasonal Rum Barrel Fermented Smoked Jalapeno.
