Our Story

Founded in 1993, Dave's Gourmet has been leading the way in the hot sauce and pasta sauce categories for three decades strong. The company's portfolio includes hot sauces that range from the iconic Dave's Insanity Sauce– the original "hottest sauce in the universe, to Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce, Scorpion Sauce, and Carolina Reaper Sauce, among other super-hot sauces. Recently, the company also launched a line of premium creamy hot sauces that add a touch of heat to complement every meal of the day. Our Creamy Hot Sauce Line is uniquely vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and low-calorie and will serve as your meal prep hero! 

At Dave's Gourmet, we believe that variety is the spice of life. That's why we've created a wide selection of sauces that cater to any heat level desired by our customers without compromising bold and versatile flavors. Our sauces are vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO and are bottled in the USA, making them a choice you can feel good about.

Dave's has expanded our product line further to include Extra Virgin olive and chili oils, giving our customers more ways to explore new intensities and flavors in their kitchens.
