About La Pimenterie

La Pimenterie is a Montréal hot sauce maker founded in 2016. It crafts sauces that balance heat with flavour, using peppers alongside fruits, herbs and spices. Its Curry Verde sauce gained wide attention when it was featured on the YouTube show Hot Ones, where guests eat wings with increasingly spicy sauces.

La Pimenterie suits spice lovers and home cooks who want to add character to everyday meals. Try a few drops on eggs, tacos, grilled meats or a bowl of rice. A bottle or a gift set makes a fun present for the friend who always reaches for the hot sauce.
