Hellicious is the first French artisanal and natural hot sauce brand that was created in 2014.
Nicolas Dochter, the founder of Sauce Piquante France, has specialized in chili since 2010, thus creating the website sauce-piquante.fr.
Importing sauces from around the world, it quickly became obvious for him to offer French chili sauces because nothing like it existed.
Concerned with quality, each recipe contains only natural ingredients, thus focusing on the essential, taste and well-being.
Production of 100% natural and local Hellicious sauces
The fresh peppers used in making our chili sauces are grown next to our premises in Alsace (photos above).
This proximity is necessary for us so that we can offer products of French origin with ultimate freshness!
In addition to that, exchanging with market gardeners concerned with quality is always pleasant, their production method respects the principle of sustainable development which is essential to create quality products.
From harvest to kitchen! In the photos above, the fresh peppers are stemmed, washed then ground and are:
- or aged in French AWA whisky barrels for the Grande Réserve sauce,
- or cooked with other ingredients as for our range of Hellicious hot sauces.
By working with fresh chili and integrating it pure into our recipes, this allows us to keep all the flavors as well as the power of these fire fruits.
For the Grande Réserve we use a pepper fermentation process that gives it a totally different aroma full of umami (salivating flavor very present in fermented foods).
Once the recipe is complete, the spicy elixir is bottled and labeled right away.
We taste each of our batches because the power of fresh peppers varies depending on the harvest time, humidity, sunshine and soil that does not have the same nutrients from one plot to another.
Once the tasting is complete, we adjust the Scoville scale on the product sheets if necessary.
Hellicious the Frenchy sauce that will make you discover new flavors!
These chili sauces are made in our premises in France, more precisely in Scherwiller (in Alsace). They were created with the aim of making you discover the different existing peppers because there are an infinite number of them (more than 2000 varieties are listed in the world).
They are all different and not just the heat, each flavor is unique, the Aji amarillo chili has a natural passion fruit taste for example, the Carolina Reaper a strong orange peel flavor, the jalapeno an inimitable herbaceous side, the Trinidad Scorpion and its immediate burn, the Habanero so floral… It's up to you to choose!
Our latest creation is the French chili sauce, the Fatali puree whose peppers grow in Colmar next to our premises!
A range of chili purees made in France so you can discover your favorite chili without artifice, fresh blended and heated chili peppers along with French vinegar for preservation and that's it. No salt or anything else so you can enjoy the raw and natural flavors.
