Meet the Team Behind Piko Peppers
Piko Peppers was founded by two Montrealers who share a passion for cooking, gardening, and spicy meals. It is the result of a desire to discover—and help people rediscover—tasty sauces with complex and well-balanced flavours as well as heat that will awaken your taste buds without setting them on fire.

As they searched for the world’s best hot sauce, JP and Val discovered numerous small companies that sell homemade sauces outside Quebec. While they tested many, many small-batch spicy products, they discovered tasty and surprising sauces—a whole new world of flavour experiences compared to industrial sauces with a dominant taste of vinegar. At that moment, they decided to help local consumers rediscover hot peppers... in all their delicious forms.

But producing “from garden to table” hot sauces and condiments in an urban setting is no small task, especially in Quebec, where hot pepper season is very short. The two hot sauce enthusiasts started dabbling in hydroponics and collecting seeds of rarer and hotter peppers than those usually found at the market. They started growing some of the world’s hottest peppers. They now grow over 50 varieties, including the Cherry Bomb, Ghost, Aji Pineapple, Trinidad Scorpion, and Yellow Bubblegum peppers... to name just a few.

There are so many hot pepper varieties to discover, so many surprising and complex blends of flavours to taste! No need to look any further: Piko Peppers is there to bring the world of hot peppers to you with local and fresh homemade products.
