How Hollywood Hot Was Born:

Louise & CB Harding started growing chilis in their back yard in Hollywood, where they both work in the entertainment industry. CB is a director and Louise is a costume designer.

CB became obsessed with making the perfect hot sauce. Louise came home one day and nearly passed out from the fumes from some brew CB was cooking up. “I thought he’d gone mad,” Louise said. “I made him take it outside so we could breathe!” CB persisted.

“When we got a community plot of farmland in Encino, California — yes, there are farms in La La Land — we decided to start growing the Tabasco chili exclusively and Hollywood Hot was born.”

But what makes this chili so special?

“Our Tabasco chili is different from other types of chili, because it’s very small, very juicy, and has to be picked, washed, and processed immediately when ripe. It can’t dry out like other peppers.”

The next season they started growing at a real farm in Oxnard, California, just outside Los Angeles.

When asked how it felt to finally have their own farm, the couple said: “We knew we were on our way!”

The 2016 vintage is still available in our online store, make sure you get your hands on one before it’s completely sold out!

But how do we make our condiments so distinctively Hollywood Hot?

The chilis get put into oak wine barrels and are aged for nearly a year. Then a fine Napa Chardonnay vinegar is added, and then the mixture sits for another six months. After the sauce is extracted there is all this mash left over. Not wanting to waste it, as we are committed to sustainable farming practices, CB decided to toast and grind it into what is now the Hollywood Hot Shake. There is nothing like on the market. It has a rich, flowery, and slightly smoky aroma, which adds flavor — and heat, to everything. We even sprinkle it on ice cream!

We hope you enjoy our products. We make them with love. We take pride in being fully sustainable, gluten free and vegan, and paying our workers a living wage!
