Meet MJ - The Sauce Boss

Born and raised in the Virgin Islands, MJ grew up surrounded by the vibrant flavors and culinary traditions of the Caribbean.

Her passion for creating the perfect hot sauce began in her grandmother's kitchen, where she learned the art of balancing heat with complex flavor profiles using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

What started as a beloved family recipe shared only at gatherings and celebrations has now become a viral sensation that's capturing the hearts (and taste buds) of hot sauce enthusiasts across the country.

"My goal has always been simple - to share authentic Caribbean flavors that enhance food rather than overwhelm it. Each bottle contains generations of family knowledge and island tradition."

- MJ, Founder & Sauce Boss
