Apostle Hot Sauce was conceived in 2018 following our move to Paekākāriki. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces for years, so in an attempt to get to know our community, we started selling them at our local market. With an overwhelmingly positive response from our new friends and neighbours we decided we had to do more. We have a strong passion for using local ingredients, the peppers we use are hand picked  and the Kawakawa leaves are from our own garden. We refuse to use any artificial colours, preservatives, flavours or thickeners, instead relying on fresh ingredients to create our vibrant range of sauces. 

Our beautiful labels were hand drawn by the remarkably talented and kindhearted Juju. We were so lucky to have her work with us so please check out her other amazing works here.

Heavily inspired by religious iconography and tarot cards we wanted each bottle and its contents to be considered as a work of art, a gift from our hearts to your mouth.
