Karma Sauce

Karma Sauce SPICE OUTSIDE THE LINES

Inspired by his locavore friends and neighbors in a close-knit community in Pittsford, NY, Gene Olczak created the first Karma Sauce® recipe as a personal passion in the summer of 2008. Word of mouth acclaim led to an expansion of the line to include four sauces – Good Karma, Bad Karma, Smokey Karma and Curry Karma – each with its own distinctive flavor, each containing only all-natural ingredient

s, and each manufactured in small batches exclusively by Olczak in Upstate New York. The company’s name and likeness was inspired by a joyfully naughty cairn terrier who joined Olczak’s neighborhood family just as the first sauce was being created.

🔥 SAUCE OF THE MONTH: Smokey Karma
We put our award-winning chipotle sauce on a grilled dog with sharp cheddar and blistered shish*tos, and now we can't stop. Mild heat, big smoke, a little orange-and-honey sweetness — the bottle that tastes like it spent all day on the grill.
👉 All June: add anything to your cart and your Smokey Karma is 50% OFF — automatic at checkout. (Yep, a second bottle counts.)

It may be Monday at home… but it's Tuesday Somewhere. 🧀🔥
Our Sauce of the Month is named after the feeling: "It's Tuesday Somewhere" — a taco-inspired sauce built to melt, pour, and dip.
🛒 50% off 1, 2, or 3-packs with any additional purchase at karmasauce.com.
Tuesday Fondue:
🥔 Crisp baby potatoes in French butter, cast iron
🧀 Score and lift the top of a boxed soft cheese
🌮 Pour in "It's Tuesday Somewhere," replace the lid
🔥 Wood-fired oven, 5 minutes (the char on the box is on purpose)
🌿 Fresh thyme
🥄 Crack the crust, stir, dip everything
The cheese:
Grace used Nuiton — a new soft, buttery cheese from Burgundy with sweet-salty notes, sold in its own wooden box (available at Wegmans ). Boxed subs that bake just as well:
• Mont d'Or — the original, ridiculously creamy (seasonal)
• Harbison (Jasper Hill, VT) — spruce-bound, year-round, easiest to find
• Rush Creek Reserve (WI) — seasonal, spruce-wrapped
• Winnimere (Jasper Hill) — washed-rind, smoky, for the adventurous
The box matters. It holds the cheese together once it goes molten. No box, no bake — transfer to a small baking dish instead.
Shopping list:
• 1 boxed soft cheese
• 1 lb baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp French butter
• "It's Tuesday Somewhere" sauce
• Fresh thyme
Limited run. Add anything to your cart, sauce drops to half off. Give Monday the slip. 🫶

"I knew nothing about Karma Sauce. I looked it up, saw the five-star reviews, and said — I'm bringing it in. The one I believed in the most? Cosmic Dumpling. And when I tried it, I was like, oh yeah, I'm right — this bad boy is phenomenal. We sold the heck out of it."
That's what an partner told us at the H-E-B Suppliers Summit in San Marcos this week. 🌶️
This is why we come. Real conversations, real partners, real love for the product. From burgers to stir fry to eggs — yeah, eggs — Cosmic Dumpling is going on everything.
Thank you for believing in us from day one. 🙏

Two Master Chefs and a propeller head. 🔥
Tried the noir filter to see if I could pull off the same cool factor as these two. Reader: I could not.
Flanked by culinary royalty at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo — Derrick Prince MasterChef Season 2 finalist, Screaming Mi Mi judge, and NYC restaurateur, plus James Nelson, MasterChef Season 4 and our national sales lead here at Karma Sauce.
Lucky to share a booth with these guys. Spice outside the lines. 🌶️

Five Awards. One Weekend. One Very Good Day at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo. 🏆🔥
We're still a little stunned. The 2026 Screaming Mi Mi Awards were announced this weekend at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo, and Karma Sauce came home with FIVE of them:
🥇 1st Place, Ghost Island (Caribbean Style)
🥇 1st Place, Lift Off (Asian Style)
🥈 2nd Place, Funken Hot Yellow Moruga (Pepper Blend)
🥈 2nd Place, HuHu Diablo (Fruit Based)
🥈 2nd Place, Ashes to Ashes (### Hot)
And while we were standing there still processing it, someone walked up to the booth and handed us a 1st Place Fire Dragon plaque from Hot Sauce Fest Atlanta, Best Super-Hot Sauce for Funken Hot Yellow Moruga. So that happened too. 🐉
To everyone who has supported us from the Finger Lakes to all over the country, thank you. These wins belong to you as much as they do to us.
🎁 Bonus: We're launching our Karma Sauce For A Year giveaway right here at the show. One bottle a month, delivered to your door, for a whole year. Enter free 👉 bit.ly/karmasauce4year
Come find us at the Expo this weekend. We've got samples, swag, and a lot of trophies to point at. 🌶️
