You know when your bottle of hot sauce says, "Pain is Good" you're about to punish, yet tantalize your taste buds. Creating micro-batches, Original Juan, maker of gourmet sauces, dips and spreads, looks to "sizzle the soul of chile-heads and tantalize the tastebuds of the meek and mild; to pursue the finest, most complex, and richest flavors from the outmost extremes of heat to the sweet and mild."
Their label shows the intense flavor and spice you'll enjoy.

We love our readers who continue to send us fantastic ideas and recommendations for features on Extraordinique. This week, we received an email that says it all about a company and a product she uses and loves. I wanted to share with you her exact email:Dear Extraordinique:
I found a little gem that I really like and thought I'd share it with Extraordinique. I was at Target the other day looking for an antibacterial gel for the kids. Though it's something I hate using because I personally think it feels icky, dries out my hands and leaves a yucky residue, it's a necessary evil in my life with kids...especially after playing in a public place. So I found a new little product that I just adore called Clean Well. Its non-alcoholic, has a nice scent and it doesn't leave any yucky residue on your hands, which I worry for the kids as they eat their sandwich, grab their fruit or touch their face. CleanWell is plant based and environment friendly. I don't question as much what my kids are ingesting after they've used it. Plus, I use their spray so it's far more convenient than gels and lasts longer.
Anyway, they sell CleanWell on Amazon as well as Target. I'm totally in love with it. I need to stock one in my car and every bag I own. :)
Being somewhat of an admitted "germaphobe," finding something that fights germs in a responsible way is really important to me. Reading up on Clean Well, I'm touched by their story and impressed with their approach looking to nature to find the remedy. That's Extraordinique!
