I was asked to make a hot sauce, but then again… what do I know about making hot sauces? I was a pastry chef back then.
So I turned to old grandma’s recipe book, only to find that grandma likes her sauce VERY HOT!!!.
I started playing around with the recipe, adding more flavors, salty and smoky, sweet yet sour, I wanted it to be the kind of sauce that I can’t stop eating, the kind that gives you a burning sensation just in the right level, leaving enough room to crave the next bite.
After a few weeks of testing, I finally got it!! Soon enough, people started coming to me, asking me where they could buy my sauce.
By now, the sauce is a household name in kitchens around town. Cooking, dipping and saucing will never be boring again!!
And you…?, haven’t you tasted Algo Picante yet?
We believe we have a social responsibility as well, the natural habitat is in danger and a certain part of our community needs a helping hand. All we need to do is give back, if every person gives back just a little bit, we will be able to make the world a better place to live in.
That is why a percentage of all our net profit is donated to the Costa Rican community and natural habitat.
