La Place Hot Sauce, in Fort Walton Beach, is a local specialty shop that manufactures and bottles 11 different hot sauces onsite, including three award winners. Owners Nina and Duane Selph have been making hot sauce for more than seven years, and last year decided to share their passion with the community by opening a retail store.

With flavors ranging from raspberry and papaya mango to habanero and ghost pepper, the produce used in the sauces is hand-selected for quality and freshness, and all of the sauces are 100 percent natural and gluten-free, with no dyes, fillers or preservatives. The owners’ satisfaction guarantee states, “We would never put out a product that we wouldn’t want ourselves.” They also sell authentic spices imported from around the world, including specialty pink sea salts and proprietary blends.

Location: 64 Eglin Pkwy. and at the Eglin AFB BX. For more information, call 850-226-6345 or visit LaPlaceHotSauce.com.
