Clark + Hopkins Artisanal Pepper Sauces

Our products are more culinary sauces than hot sauces in that you can cook with ours. Our recipes are super quick, delicious, and only require a couple of ingredients to make an exotic meal. The first hot sauce I created was Kerala which I made for a friend from southern India. He said it tasted like home and spurred me to look into other parts of the world and capture their ingredients in our bottles. In just one weekend, I ended up making 23 hot sauces from various parts of the globe but needed to pick out just a few to begin. I wanted to make something for our region so I created Chesapeake Bay and Virginia. We now have 9 hot sauces and 2 Bloody Marys. Our Chesapeake Bloody Mary took home the 2019 Scovie Award and our hot sauce Assam received the 2019 Sofi Award for the World’s Best New Hot Sauce by the Specialty Food Association. In 2020, Laos received the Sofi Gold for best Hot Sauce. Assam was also featured on Season 7 of Hot Ones, YouTube’s #1 show in their history.
