Two chefs set off on a journey to make the most delicious hot sauce using the elusive Aji Rocoto pepper. Years of tasting and searching led us to a small farm in Ecuador where we ferment the Rocoto and mix it with a unique coastal plantain vinegar, creating an unmatched farm to flavor experience.

This limited batch Hot Sauce is made with just 3 natural ingredients with incomparable flavor.

Only 3 Ingredients

The highest quality Andean ingredients sourced from a small farm in Ecuador where the mountains meet the sea.

Fermented Flavors

Our main ingredient is a regeneratively-grown fermented Rocoto pepper. The fermentation provides the most memorable flavor you've ever had in a hot sauce.

Chef-Crafted For 11 Years

Our journey began over a decade ago, fueled by our shared love for Aji Rocoto, a rare chile from Peru. After years of searching, we found a sustainable family farm in Ecuador to bring this bold flavor to life.

Regeneratively Grown

We use a holistic farming approach that aims to improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon - ultimately creating a more resilient and productive agricultural system.

We put the industry under the microscope

Every ingredient and process needed to create our hot sauce was carefully crafted and strategized for 11 years before we went into production. No other brand can say that.

Trent and team whipped up a winner. I have 20-30 different hot sauces on hand at a time and this has become my go-to. Nice heat but it takes a back seat to flavor. FANTASTIC!!!!

This hot sauce is great! it reminds me of the flavors of my country's cuisine, I haven't had a rocoto hot sauce this flavorful that taste as fresh and pure as this one with the a perfect mild heat so it doesn't burn my mouth. Also it has no additive nor preservative, crazy good!!

As a hot sauce enthusiast, I've enjoyed the spectrum from the Srirachas to the Cholula's, Tabasco to the Tapatios, Truffs to where the Hot Ones collection meets Melinda's, and yet, there is a special place for Spice Tribe's Roco Hot sauce.

It's probably the cleanest hot sauce in the market with only 3 ingredients.
