Hot Pepper Original Hot Sauce

Hot Pepper Original Hot Sauce

The first born. A fermented Louisiana-style classic.

Our Hot Pepper Original is the sauce that started it all. Inspired by classic Louisiana-style hot sauce and made in New Zealand with fermented red chillies, it delivers bright acidity, savoury depth and a gentle, everyday heat that works across almost anything.

This award-winning sauce earned a Bronze Medal at the 2025 NZ Artisan Awards - recognition for its balance, flavour and everyday versatility.

Fermentation builds richness and depth, making this a true table staple - the kind you keep close and reach for without thinking.

Heat level: Mild (4/10)
Bright, tangy warmth with depth.

This fermented hot sauce is made in New Zealand for food lovers who know good flavour when they taste it.
