The Portland-area hot sauce company celebrated 20 years of flavorful, spicy sauciness with a new snack. by Suzette Smith

Beloved local hot sauce makers Secret Aardvark celebrated 20 years of spiciness, in both seasoning and spirit, on Saturday at the Landmark Saloon, where—between sets by two of her favorite local groups, Silver Lake 66 and Ashleigh Flynn and the Riveters—Aardvark owner Stacy Moritz introduced a new product to the crowd, Aardvarks Nuts: Habanero Hazelnuts.

"Who doesn't like a hot nut?" she asked the crowd, wryly. 

Hazelnuts are the state nut of Oregon, but as it happens, Moritz told the Mercury she didn't enjoy them until her team made them hot. And that desire—to make the filbert something she likes—is the reasoning she gave for the snack experiment to be born.

To our taste buds, the Aardvarks Nuts are more flavor-forward than they are eye-watering hot, but the spice does sneak up, thanks to the folie à deux between the nut's oil and Aardvark's secret spices. It's a nice, unique mix that transforms the sweetness we'd generally expect from a hazelnut with the carrot and chili pepper profiles we love in Aardvark's original Habanero Hot Sauce.

Aardvark Nuts stay true to the company's local focus, starting out as Laurel Tree hazelnuts, which are grown in the Willamette Valley.

"We took the bougiest nut we could find, and made them Aardvark habanero spicy," Moritz said. "It's fun, it's hard, it's sweaty, it's hot." Much of that sentiment can also be found on the nut packaging, which stays true to Moritz's well-documented, saucy humor.

In a 2013 Mercury profile Moritz mused, "My dream is one day to have a guy in an Aardvark costume running down Hollywood Boulevard with his dick hanging out." Moritz remembered the profile and said that particular dream hasn't ever been realized, but if they were to do it now, she'd have to be the one wearing the costume.

Saturday's nut drop was a celebratory sneak peak. The company is still working to make the packaged snacks available for purchase, but they will be, at the very least, on the Secret Aardvark site by the new year. A representative from the company said they were just waiting on final approval of the product's non-GMO certification.

In the meanwhile, Aardvark fans can keep their eyes peeled for other upcoming sauces the company has in the works: Moritz said we could expect a serrano ranch sauce and a spicy mayo "that will actually be spicy."
