The Classic - No Mucking Around, Just a Brilliant Fermented Hot Sauce
What Tabasco would taste like if it got a haircut and hit the gym
The irony of starting an entire hot sauce company because we didn't like Tabasco, only to come full circle 13 years later and make a better version of it is not lost on us.
But anyway here she is. The Classic keeps it real and simple. Packed with fermented fruity and punchy golden Amarillo Chillies, vinegar, garlic and a bit of salt and sugar it's Bunsters most basic and classic hot sauce recipe.
For lovers of fermented sauces this really hits the spot. It's got the taste you want but it's delivered in a glossy, thick sauce you've come to know and love from Bunsters. Buy more than 1 bottle as it's very addictive. With an accessible heat level that lures you in to eating more and more and more, you'll need a second bottle and probably a third.
You’ll wonder how you ever lived without this sauce. Really versatile and easy to eat Classic Hot sauce.

Substitute any mustard needed in recipes with Flamin' Mustard for incredible flavour that goes above and beyond normal mustard, use Green and Gold in any recipe that needs a herby boost, use Original in stews and pasta sauces to give them OOMPH.

WHAT IS THE SCOVILLE RATING OF YOUR HOT SAUCES?
We haven't had our sauces tested in a lab. It's not a common form of testing in Australia. I can't find a lab that will do it. The other problem is apparently if you do find a lab that does Scoville testing the results vary wildly from lab to lab. So most hot sauces just guess what their rating is based on the chillies used. We have have done the same based on our recipes:
- Flamin’ Honey - 600 Scovilles (bugger all)
- Flamin’ Tomato 6/10 - 1,500 Scovilles
- Flamin’ Mustard 7/10 - 1,800 Scovilles
- Green and Gold 7/10 - 1,800 Scovilles
- Original 7/10 - 1,800 Scovilles
- Pretty Hot 9/10 - 9,500 Scovilles
- Shit the Bed 12/10 - 35,000 Scovilles
- Black Label 16/10 - 99,000 Scovilles
The rating of Black Label is quite impressive considering we don't use any extracts in our sauces.
ARE THEY GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN? WHAT ABOUT FAT, NUTS AND OTHER ALLERGENS.
Yes. All Bunsters products are 100% Gluten-Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Fat Free and Vegetarian / Vegan.
We use Apple Cider Vinegar which is gluten free. Most other hot sauces which use a grain-based vinegar.
The only non-vegan product we make is Flamin' Honey. The only allergen in our products is Sesame Seed in the Chockers. (Chockers does not contain Peanuts.)
Should I keep your hot sauces in the fridge?
All our sauces stay fresher if you keep them in the fridge. But if you left them in the cupboard no dramas. They just won't stay as fresh for long as we don't use preservatives or fillers.
Honey is the only one you definitely shouldn't keep in the fridge as it gets too hard to pour out.
And the only one I HIGHLY recommend refrigerating is Green and Gold as it's so delicate it loses its freshness faster than the other ones. But if you have the space, keep them in the fridge.
