The Story

In 1960, our grandparents emigrated from Havana, Cuba to Miami, Florida without a penny to their name and with a baby on the way. They quickly relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where, through years of hard work, they started a successful business, raised three children, and became pillars of the Cuban-American community. In the 1990s, our Abuelo began to create a delicious hot sauce recipe using spicy peppers he had been gifted and authentic Cuban ingredients that he grew himself. While traditional Cuban food is rarely spicy, our Grandfather’s sauce, like his family, is proudly Cuban-American. Over the years, he refined and guarded his recipe while giving out countless batches to family and friends. It’s our pleasure to share his secret sauce with the world. We hope it brings you and your family the same happiness and deliciously spicy food it has brought ours.
