About Us
Pikant was born out of my love for experimenting in the
kitchen. Where I work, we had a social events club and on Fridays each person
would bring a finger food for the lime. I always brought wings with a Tamarind
sauce. I started Pikant in 2011 after encouragement from my coworkers to begin
selling my sauce. So Pikant's first product was actually Tamarind sauce not hot
sauce.
In 2013, Pikant eventually evolved into a hot sauce
enterprise. I wanted to offer hot sauce with a difference, so I tested out
mixing in fruits from my yard. I started off with Five Finger, Pomerac, Mango
and Lime. Due to fruit seasonality and availability, I settled on the flavors
you see today; Pineapple, Carrot, Ginger-Pumpkin and Scorpion-Sorrel.
These hot sauces are the perfect blend of the familiar
pepper sauce found in every Caribbean household and new flavor combinations
customers will be eager to try.
My favorite part of having this business is hearing my
customers say they enjoy the sauces. My customers make it worth it!
P. S. Pikant means "Hot" in Dutch ????️
