At Chardy’s we are very passionate about chilli peppers. Our vision has always been to respect the integrity of the peppers by balancing these vibrant, wonderfully complex fruit qualities, with the acidity assuming a very much more sympathetic role. This may sound like a simple task, however allowing the chilli peppers to take back centre stage, meant rethinking the entire alchemy of how to craft a hot sauce.

For thousands of years winemakers have been perfecting the art of extracting the subtle flavours and nuances of the humble grape, to create a delicate balance of fruit, acidity and tannins. That led us to a simple question, “why can’t we do that with chilli peppers?”

From the start we wanted to craft a sauce without compromise, if you will, a “fine hot sauce”. Whilst we initially believed that doing this meant reinventing the wheel, we realised we simply needed to let the chilli pepper lead us along a journey of evolution. To adapt, combine and borrow traditional techniques, to make something entirely fresh, indulgent and unconventional.
