    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.

    The best packaging design I've seen recently ⬇ Stuzzi Hot Sauce Tbh I'd never heard of this brand before a few days ago when the striking look of the bottle stopped my scrolling dead in its tracks. What stands out: -- 1 / Messaging "Made in Italy" "Loved by Wolves" These are the only two callouts on the box other than the brand name / product designation. 'Italy' signals a premium product. And I have no idea what "Loved by Wolves" means but it's playful and intriguing. I dig it. 2 / Bottle Design This looks like a bottle of booze, which I'm assuming is the point. The first step to driving trial is catching the eye of the consumer. Strong pattern interruption. 3 / Minimalism In an era of maximalist product design, Stuzzi goes in the other direction. This should play well in a loud and busy product category. -- Nice work Joe Marchese and the Casa Komos Brands Group team! #cpg #design #hotsauce #wolves

    "Stuzzi is a chameleon that seems to work with any dish it touches." - Food & Wine, April 2024 A few years ago tequila- and wine-makers Richard and Carla Betts met acclaimed chefs Ethel Hoon and Jakob Zeller while traveling through the Alps. After a few drinks, the four decided to conceive a hot sauce that would enhance all good food, building off a dream and a beloved pepper variety. Made in Italy with only three ingredients: chilies, distilled vinegar, and salt. No preservatives, artificial coloring, sweeteners, or thickeners. Stuzzi is about elevating good food, not covering it up. Stuzzi is Casa Komos Brands Group founded by Richard Betts and Joe Marchese.
