Barbaro Mojo Piñazo Cuban Hot Sauce: Pineapple Habanero Reaper

About this sauce

Also commonly searched as "Pinazo" (without the ñ accent), same Cuban hot sauce, made with pineapple, habanero, and Carolina Reaper. Piñazo™ Cuban Hot Sauce is pineapple plus Carolina Reaper, built on our mojo criollo recipe made with pineapple juice instead of the traditional sour orange. The name means "punch" in Spanish, and that's what it delivers: tropical sweetness up front, Reaper underneath. It's a pineapple habanero hot sauce built for real heat, not just a mild fruit dip. Award-winning, vegan, gluten-free, made in small batches in Miami. What's in it The base starts from our mojo criollo recipe, but instead of sour orange we build it with pineapple juice. Same garlic, same Cuban spices, different citrus. Then come datterini tomatoes (Italian heirlooms, naturally sweet), pineapple chunks, Fresno peppers, Habanero peppers, and a small amount of Carolina Reaper. The Reaper carries the heat. The pineapple keeps it interesting. That pineapple swap also means no artificial preservatives: the pineapple juice and distilled vinegar provide all the acidity it needs. Award-winning Piñazo™ has taken home four honors: Grand Prize, Product Packaging and 2nd Place, World Beat Mild/Medium at the Scovie Awards 2025 (blind-judged), 1st Place, People's Choice at Jungle Jim's Weekend of Fire 2026, and 2nd Place, People's Choice at ZestFest 2024. See the full award record. Flavor profile: tropical and bright. Pineapple mojo up front, Carolina Reaper underneath. Heat level Heat Level: Heat: 6 out of 10 on the Barbaro Mojo Cuban heat scale.
