Congratulations to aka .de for winning the amateur hot sauce competition with his delicious salsa El Chilepin. The judges loved it.
We will be working with Vladimir over the coming months to develop and produce the winners prize of 100 bottles of his sauce made with professional sauce makers to kick start his sauce making career.
Big thank you and congratulations to all the finalists and to everyone who took part. We'll take a break from this competition over summer and will look to start again after the September Berlin chilifest to line it up again for the Xmas event. You can still enter sauces in the September chilifest amateur hot sauce competition but it just be for bragging rights.
Also thank you to , , , and for bringing your expertise to the judging panel. The judges gave fantastic feedback and we all learnt a lot.
