Powerful Pepper Co

The Powerful Pepper Company’s origins literally grew out of the garden. Jay and his dad shared a community garden plot for years and was rewarded with a lot of old-school know how. Anyone who has gardened know how productive healthy pepper plants can be. With a few pounds of peppers coming off every week Jay had to scramble to find the most delicious way to preserve all of those fresh habaneros for use all year long. All of this happening long before you could just ask google what to do.

Jay's history working in short order, and later in fine dining kitchens, helped develop a lifelong passion for sharing food and an appreciation for using ingredients of freshness and quality. Jay continues to keep his hands dirty in the garden and grows rare pepper varietals that can be found in some of our small batch and small run products. We have been fortunate to have had many of our products earn awards from the top spicy food shows and competitions around the country.
