We proudly present our line of 100% natural
hot sauces made only from the Amazon Pepper,
vinegar and salt. Our products are the result of our effort
to grow and process the best quality peppers for the world market
since 1992. Due to a unique manufacturing process, the products
do not need preservatives. The natural aroma, freshness and
color give the sensation of just harvested peppers. These are
traditional South American sauces.
Peppers add that essential spark to all food.
Traditionally known as a seasoning, peppers are also famous
as an aphrodisiac and a medicinal and digestive food. The bright
and intense colors of the wild macaws are one of the few characteristics
that remind us of the virgin forests of the South American Indians.
Another characteristic is the fiery and untamed taste that differentiates
peppers from all other known condiments. This fantastic spice,
named "ACHU" by the Incas and "CHILLI" by
the Aztecs, has traditionally been "the fruit of passion
and eroticism" associated with the "Don Juan"
and the "Macho man".
It wasn't only its aphrodisiac properties,
but also the healing ones, that caused this plant to make a
magnificent impression on the 15th century Spanish and British
"conquistadores". It was discovered that peppers were
not only rich in flavor, but also rich in Vitamin C, even more
than any citrus, and in Vitamins A & B which helps prevent
stomach cancer and digestive problems.
According to botanical studies, the genera
Capsicum to which all peppers belong, originated in an extensive
area including the Amazon River Basin.
Not only will you find the greatest concentration of wild pepper
species in this zone, but it is only here where representatives
of all domestic species grow. This includes our "sauces"
raw material: the Amazon Pepper.
