The Valentina is a brand of pour able hot sauce manufactured by the Salsa Tamazula, company of Guadalajara, Northern western Mexico. It is sold in glass bottles, with a flip top cap permanently attached to the bottle. Valentina comes in two varieties, hot and extra hot, and the sauce is known for its taste, as opposed to only for its heat. Valentina's ingredients are water, chili peppers, vinegar, salt, spices and sodium benzoate (as a preservative).

The taste can be described as a citrus flavor, with a spicy aftertaste. It is often used as a condiment with fresh produce such as cucumbers and many varieties of fruit, such as watermelon, mangoes, oranges, and pineapple, with lemon and salt. Cool, fresh fruit and spicy, tangy, salty flavors are a common combination in Mexican cuisine and snack foods.
