Burke’s Hot Sauce
The hot sauce stars aligned back in 2010, when Kevin and Shannon started their relationship bonding over a shared love of heat and hot sauce.
Within a week of meeting in Boston, they dared to dig into a ghost pepper chili pasta from a local restaurant’s “Hell Night,” which seemed like a good idea at the time. Looking to impress each other with their affinity (and tolerance) for the highest level of spice they had no idea what their future in-stored.
From that point forward, their love for one another — and their love for hot sauce — has only grown. After moving out of the city to the South Shore of Boston and becoming parents to their little girl, Soleil, they began growing hot peppers and crafting their own hot sauce recipe. As they shared their creations with family and friends, demand for their sauce grew. Between Kevin’s science skills and Shannon’s creative business sense, they planted the seeds for a flavorful, innovative, community-centered line of products ROOTED IN LOVE.
Handcrafted, small-batched signature recipes using fresh ingredients and a unique fermentation process. Burke’s Hot Sauce recipes are simple, free from additives, and intended to bring flavorful heat to be enjoyed with your everyday foods.
By focusing on quality ingredients and the flavor and sensory profiles of a variety of peppers, Burke’s Hot Sauce stands apart with consistent high quality and innovative flavor profiles that encourage the exploration of taste and heat.
Our artisanal sauces are made from Quality ingredients that are purposely concocted to give you Flavorful heat!
We’re focused on creative flavors and heat that ranges from medium to hot heat that elevate dishes without overpowering them with spice. We use quality ingredients, our specialized recipes, and fermentation to develop rich and bold flavors. Following the fermentation period, we blend our batches with Shop there here
