Origin Story

 

Bells' Peppers, LLC was founded out of a love for all things Hot Sauce. I have always been a bit of a coinissuer of Hot Sauce and have been known to be critical of them. Ever since I was a child, using 3 fire packets on my Taco Bell Tacos while my parents called me crazy! 

 

My adventure into this world of making Hot Sauce started with me planting a large raised garden bed with over 30 different types of peppers. I planted just about any type of pepper I could get my hands on. I had Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers (red and yellow), Habaneros, Dragon Cayenne and so many more all the way down to orange and green Bell Peppers. Originally this was simply to make my own Hot Sauces to fill the gaps in real flavor, that I couldn't find locally or with the big name sauces. 

 

I started out making MANY different sauces with our fresh, homegrown peppers and I ended up nearly filling my refrigerator with different types of hot sauces (much to my Girlfriends displeasure!). Some of these were simply amazing, others were simply duds. At this time there was alot of trial and error and trial by fire! This resulted in some Hot Sauce Gravy, as I dubbed it, when trying to find a proper thickening/binding agent and not following the quantities quite right. 😂

​

After much testing and learning and trying, I had produced several hot sauces that were good enough that I had jotted down some quick recipes so that I could re-produce them over and over again for us to eat. Then, while having company over, several friends and family tried the plethora of hot sauces that I had available and one of them simply said "Damn, this is good! You could sell this stuff... I would buy it!"... And so the journey began.

 

After much research, some legal jumps and some local testing, we are proud to announce we are fully licensed and permitted with our signature hot sauce blends ready to bring some real flavor into our world! We currently have four sauces available for sale and many more to come. We have something for every level of heat and have several other sauces currently in the R&D phase, or as I like to call it, the Guinea Pig testing phase! Stand by as more amazing sauces are tested and released!
