Our story begins in the small town of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, a quiet place nestled in the heart of the Shuswap.
One evening in 2016 while enjoying a meal around our ever-expanding, and increasingly lively family dinner table, our discussion turned into an idea of bringing fresh, flavourful, whole-food to everyone; we desired to share our true passion and love for food with the world.
You can smell and taste the bright, crisp flavours of our fresh, raw sauces; gone are the chemicals, emulsifiers and taste of highly concentrated acidic, vinegar-based sauces.
Caliente fresh and raw sauces are made with only the freshest produce; they are kept fresh in refrigeration for up to eighteen months using only a small percentage of sea salt and quality vinegar.
True to our heritage, Caliente fresh hot sauces are sugar-free, vegan, and gluten-free. Our bbq sauce contains up to sixty percent less sugar than the average bbq sauce allowing people that are diabetic or on a keto journey to enjoy our sauces as well with only 3.4g of sugar per serving.
Caliente’s recipes have deep roots in the central Mexican state of Tlaxcala, where simplicity in process and sharing culinary expressions, are a way of life. Our products are the first of their kind in Canada merchandising in produce sections across the country.
We are honoured that you choose Caliente products to take home and enjoy with your family, knowing only the finest quality fresh sauces will be served at your table.
