Ottawa, KS (PRWEB) September 12, 2007 — Monty has done it again. Monty’s Gourmet Foods L.L.C. is proud to announce that it has won 14 more awards at this year’s prestigious Fiery Foods Challenge sponsored by Chile Pepper Magazine.

“We are thrilled beyond belief that we have been honored by all of these awards.” Said Monty. “We have now got 53 international awards for our product lines, but this is a single event record breaker for us.”

Monty’s Gourmet creates a line of hot sauces, picante sauces (salsa), wing sauces and BBQ sauces, all of which were winners in this year’s event.

“Our greatest surprise was the first place golden chile award for our super hot Death Lizard Extract Sauce. We always start with good flavor, but the Death Lizard has an insane amount of capsaicin extract in it, which makes it so hot, it’s ignorant hot. We always knew we had great products, but when you can win an award for having a great tasting really hot product, then you know you have really accomplished something.”
