How We Make Handmade Hot Sauce in Lancashire
At The Spite Kitchen, we believe great hot sauce starts long before it reaches the bottle. Every sauce we produce is made in small batches here in Lancashire, where we focus on quality ingredients, bold flavours and traditional production methods rather than mass production.
It Starts with Quality Ingredients
Many of the chillies we use are grown by us, allowing us to carefully select peppers at their best. Combined with fresh garlic, onions, premium vinegars and carefully balanced recipes, we create sauces that deliver flavour first and heat second.
Every ingredient is chosen for a reason, whether it's adding sweetness, depth, acidity or the perfect level of heat.
Small Batch Production
Unlike factory-made sauces, our products are made in small batches. This gives us complete control over every bottle, allowing us to maintain consistency, flavour and quality.
Every batch is carefully prepared, cooked and bottled by hand before being labelled and packed ready for customers across the UK.
Three Different Levels of Heat
Our range has something for every chilli lover.
Low Blow
A smooth honey and garlic hot sauce with medium heat that works perfectly on chicken, burgers, pizza and chips.
Second Degree
A hotter sauce combining smoked garlic, red jalapeños and Scotch Bonnet chillies for a rich smoky flavour with plenty of kick.
No Contact
Our hottest sauce, made using fermented Ghost Peppers (Bhut Jolokia) for serious heat and deep, complex flavour.
Handmade in Lancashire
Being based in Lancashire is an important part of who we are. We are proud to be a family business creating artisan hot sauces and preserves using carefully selected ingredients and traditional methods.
