Heinz brings back Black Garlic Ranch and Harissa Aioli Sauces to Target and Walmart

Are you ready for your food to get fancy? If so, then you’re going to want to head to either Target or Walmart today – or both – to pick up Heinz’s Black Garlic Ranch and Harissa Aioli Sauces, which are now available nationwide.

“Last summer, social media was buzzing when we tested our limited-edition ‘sauce drops’ in a few key restaurant chains around the country,” says Katie Peterson, Director of HEINZ Innovation at The Kraft Heinz Company, via a press release provided to Guilty Eats. “Our feed was filled with comments from fans who loved the sauces, as well as those who were clamoring to get their hands on them. Seeing the irrational love the drops generated – particularly Black Garlic Ranch and Harissa Aioli – we knew we had to bring these products to store shelves nationwide so the rest of the country to enjoy them.”

As Peterson notes, these sauces were initially tested in restaurants only. There were six sauces in total, but the two mentioned above were the ones to make the big box store cut. And not only that… The release of Black Garlic Ranch and Harissa Aioli comes hot on the heels of five other sauces: Burger Aioli, Smoky Hickory Bacon Flavored Aioli, Buffalo-style Mayonnaise Dressing, Garlic Aioli, and Chipotle Aioli, which really should have been called ChipotAioli, but I digress.

Despite these sauces being available nationwide, they are going to be exclusive to specific chains. Black Garlic Ranch will be a Walmart exclusive, and features “a unique and smooth experience, combining the mellow, deep flavor of black garlic with the creaminess of ranch.”

Meanwhile, the Harissa Aioli is a Target exclusive, and features “a smoky roasted red pepper blend with flavorful heat and a globally inspired flair.”

When - and I’m asking this for a friend - is it acceptable to just eat bowls of sauce as a meal? My friend would love to know.

You can snag both sauces and some bowls and spoons to go with them, in stores today.
