About
Spicy Foods for Spicy People
The Powerful Pepper Company’s origins literally grew out of the garden. Jay and his dad shared a community garden plot for years and was rewarded with a lot of old-school know how. Anyone who has gardened know how productive healthy pepper plants can be, and habaneros were no different. With a few pounds coming off of four plants every week Jay had to scramble to find the most delicious way to preserve all of those spicy peppers for use all year long. All of this happening long before you could just ask google what to do.
Jay's history working in short order, and later in fine dining kitchens, helped develop a lifelong passion for sharing food and an appreciation for using ingredients of exceptional freshness and quality bring his products to life. Jay continues to keep his hands dirty in the garden and grows rare pepper varietals that can be found in some of our small bactch and small run products. We also develop the important relationships needed to source the freshest seasonal and local ingredients possible for his products. Our products are proudly manufactured locally in Georgia and Powerful Pepper Company is a locally owned, operated, and boot-strapped small business. We have been fortunate to have had many of our products earn awards from the top spicy food shows and competitions around the country.

I am addicted to the Habanero Mango Hot Sauce. I put it a few dabs on pretty much everything. It obviously goes very well with any Mexican food but I love it on pizza, in bolognese, and with any breakfast. It has just the right level of smokiness and heat. Buying right now!

Extended family love it too. We partake in your sauce in not only Georgia, but North Carolina and Mississippi. I also carry it with me (I'm a Delta Pilot) everywhere I go. I carry it into every Mexican restaurant I go to because they can't match yours. Not blowing sunshine, just really respect your talent.

I absolutely love Powerful Pepper's Smoked Mango Habanero Hot Sauce! It's the perfect mix of spicy and sweet that elevates any meal. Put me on a subscription because I never want to run out.

I consider myself a hot sauce connoisseur and find that a lot of sauces are not hot enough, or if they have the heat, they lack good flavor. I can honestly say Powerful Pepper Sauce has it all. It adds the perfect amount of smoky flavor that leaves my mouth and lips tingling in the best way possible. DOPE ASS SAUCE.

This sauce is like: Before you know it, you feel like you have been taken to the habanero land of peppers, it's electrifying!!!

I love hot sauce, but my wife has never been a fan until I got a bottle of the new Serrano Kiwi sauce and shared it with her. She's used half the bottle and eats it poured straight on Fritos or mixed in with her tabbouleh. These sauces will make a hot sauce fan out of anyone!

Ever find yourself thinking the 'hot' sauce at the store is about as spicy as a bell pepper? Then it's time you met the Powerful Pepper Company (PPC). Their sauces, especially the Ghost Chipotle Black Garlic, are like a rollercoaster for your mouth – thrilling, intense, and you can't wait to go again. Jay, the pepper wizard behind the curtain, grows his own fiery fruits and tinkers like a mad scientist, especially with his small batch series. Each bottle from PPC isn’t just a hot sauce; it’s a heat-seeking missile for blandness. Step up your game and try some now.

Amazing hot sauces!! I’ve tried them all and somehow Powerful Pepper company builds just the right burn without losing any of the epic flavors. The Serrano Pineapple Plantain is my favorite, but really I don’t think you can go wrong. Powerful peppers indeed! The owner seems like a genuine, down to earth dude too, so a great business to support.
