About

Our story starts on a fire escape in NYC, where I grew several types of hot peppers, inspired by my grandmother. She used to pick chilis off a plant in her Bronx apartment and toss them into her omelettes. My mother and I were reminiscing about that, and it sparked the idea to grow my own super-hot peppers. One thing led to another, and now my spouse and I run a small business bringing our rocoto hot sauce to the world.
