History
Legendary Pickapeppa Sauce from the island of flavors
Since 1921, Shooters Hill, Jamaica
Since its creation in 1921, Pickapeppa Sauce has established itself as an international legend. Like Jamaica itself, its distinctive character reflects diverse worldwide cultural influences through cuisine, music, dance, and art.
Like the islanders, our select ingredients come from around the world
Pickapeppa Sauce combines fine ingredients selected for quality: tomatoes, onions, sugar, cane vinegar, mangoes, raisins, peppers, and spices. The blend is aged in oak barrels for one full year before bottling to develop the rich flavor its admirers know. Only natural ingredients are used, with cane vinegar serving as a preservative.
It’s not just for cream cheese
Although Pickapeppa is famously served over cream cheese, that is only one use for this versatile sauce. It is often said that it can be used on everything except ice cream and Scotch whisky, and some may even debate that.
Pickapeppa’s uses are nearly endless. Use it while grilling, stewing, sautéing, marinating, basting, roasting, baking, or broiling. It can also be served directly from the bottle on steaks, chops, seafood, burgers, poultry, vegetables, and many other dishes.
The sauce is just the beginning
The classic sauce leads a broader Pickapeppa line that includes hot pepper, gingery mango, spicy mango, and hot mango sauces. Pickapeppa products are made without artificial additives or preservatives and are commonly described as gluten free, allergen free, and suitable for vegetarians. Always review the current product label for dietary needs.
Like fine wines, Pickapeppa Sauce and Pickapeppa Hot Pepper Sauce require patient aging to reach their fullness and body. That attention to detail supports the continuing quality of Pickapeppa products.
