What’s your favorite hot sauce right now? What’s stopping you from putting it on everything?
Our founders asked that question and found that there wasn’t an answer.
They wanted a hot sauce that was good enough to go on everything—from simple home cooking to fine dining. They wanted a hot sauce that wouldn’t mask flavor, but one that would enhance it.
Here’s the story: Nearly a decade ago, wine- and tequila-makers Carla and Richard Betts fell in love with the aroma and taste of a rare Italian dried pepper. In 2020, they set out from their home in Amsterdam and journeyed across the Alps. Taking the sage advice of their contemporaries in the food world, they stopped in Austria for a meal prepared by acclaimed chefs, Ethel Hoon and Jakob Zeller of Restaurant Klösterle.
After a few drinks, many exceptional dishes, and the realization that they shared a mutual love of good food, the four decided to conceive a hot sauce that would enhance as many cuisines as possible. They traveled through southern Italy to find the farmer responsible for that singular dried pepper, which now forms the base for Stuzzi.
Enter Stuzzi. Stuzzi is short for the Italian word "stuzzicare" [stutːsi'kare], which means ‘to stimulate, to excite, to tease’, and the brand lives up to its name – a hot sauce that actually tastes good; bold, savory, and complex.
Just like great Italian cooking, we chose the best three ingredients and then got out of the way, allowing them to shine. Stuzzi IS good food.
