PEPPER SAUCES

We believe in flavor, not just pain

Pepper sauce - aka hot sauce

Hot sauce was created as a way to preserve peppers and to add flavor outside of the growing season. It is said that around the turn of the 18th century, a traveler described a sauce "used extremely" by enslaved Black people, by cutting the fruit from the stem, deseeding it, and putting the fruit into a pickle liquid of vinegar and salt. Ingredients varied from region to region, from varying pepper types to the types of sugar used--from aged molasses, to sorghum, to cane sugar. When the liquid ran low, it was topped off with more vinegar, creating a near endless resource.

Pepper sauce is the Caribbean term for hot sauce. We are embracing the spirit of Caribbean hot sauces with our own line of Pepper Sauces crafted by our pepper-loving Southern chef with a deep appreciation for culinary heritage.

Our Pepper Sauces are not just about heat – they are about enhancing the flavor of every dish they grace. We believe in flavor, not just pain. Our Pepper Sauces are more than a condiment – it's a celebration of flavor, culture, and Food with Roots in every delicious drop.

Testimonial
Hot damn these Pepper Sauces are so good. I can't pick a favorite as they each have their own use, because I put them in everything.
