About the brand

What began as a home kitchen hobby quickly grew into a cult-favourite Canadian hot sauce brand, known for its bright, flavour-forward approach to heat. Each recipe is built around traditionally fermented peppers and a short list of natural ingredients—without added water, thickeners, or preservatives—resulting in sauces that feel both clean and deeply layered.

Every bottle is developed, cooked, and packaged in-house in Thunder Bay, Ontario, allowing for careful control over quality while maintaining a small-batch ethos. The result is a lineup of distinctive, everyday-ready sauces designed to elevate everything from simple meals to more adventurous dishes.
