Here are the artisanal hot sauces of Sauce Martin: a range of bold and creative recipes made in France. Three things set these sauces apart, from the peppers in the field to the way they are cooked.
1. A choice of quality raw ingredients
The chili peppers come from sustainable farming in France: natural and pesticide-free. They are harvested fully ripe, when their flavor is at its peak.
2. Transforming the chili peppers
The pepper purées are left to mature in barrels for a few months before being cooked by the chefs. This slow step is what gives the sauces their depth.
3. A philosophy of restraint
Very little sugar or vinegar is added, because Sauce Martin chooses to reveal the beauty of the fruit itself rather than mask it.
For all spice lovers
The collection is made up of pure cru sauces (a single variety of chili) as well as blends of chili peppers. The spiciness scale runs from 3/12 to 9/12, so lovers of gentle heat and lovers of serious heat can each find what they like best. Browse the full range in our sauces collection.
Our two favorite hot sauces today would be Tonnerre, a furiously hot pure cru yellow habanero, and Mistral, deliciously flavored with aromas from the South of France and a lot less hot.
Not sure where to start? The Sauce Martin set of three hot sauces and the hot sauce gift box are an easy way to taste several recipes at once.
