'''Cholula hot sauce''' is a commercial brand of [[chile pepper|chili]]-based [[hot sauce]], manufactured in [[Chapala]], [[Jalisco]], [[Mexico]]. Its large round wooden cap makes its packaging unique among commercially-prepared hot sauces.
Cholula sauce blends [[pequin pepper]]s, [[Capsicum|red peppers]] and [[spices]]. It is named after the 2,500-year-old city of [[Cholula]], [[Puebla]], the oldest still-inhabited city in Mexico, famous for its disproportionate number of churches (local legend says 365, but the actual figure is closer to 40). The name "Cholula" is derived from the [[Nahuatl]] toponym ''Chollollan'', meaning "the place of the retreat."
