Culinary students produce Wekiva Culinary’s own special brand of hot sauce – the official hot sauce for the City of Apopka! – once each Spring. Be advised: it tends to sell out very quickly. All proceeds go to support our Culinary Program, allowing our students to spend more time in the kitchen – cooking more often, exploring more recipes, learning and preparing for future careers.

This is a specialty product: handcrafted in small batches, fermented for 6 weeks, then aged for another month before being refined and bottled for our many supporters. We LOVE this condiment and are sure you will too! For many years, our hot sauce motto was “great on everything” and it really is: just the right amount of heat and LOTS of flavor.

HOT SAUCE BATTLE ROYALE

This year, two of our classes are making their own special batches and are in competition with each other to make the BEST and BEST SELLING hot sauce, with the winning class receiving a Special field Trip (and the losing class having to write an essay). First period is making “Flaming Mustang” and Second is making “Screamin’ Stang.”
