The founders of HI Spice, Justin Orr & Katie Cook put a local twist on the popular Youtube series “Hot Ones.” In our version, we’ll highlight a variety of their Hawai‘i-made hot sauces that use all locally grown ingredients and put local celebrities’ taste buds to the test!
BEHIND THE BRAND:
After years of gardening on their land in Kula, HI Spice founders Justin Orr and Katie Cook discovered they had a knack for growing peppers. This realization coupled with their growing boredom of the typical sauces you find on restaurant tables, prompted them to experiment with making hot sauce. After exposing their concoctions to friends and family, they introduced their hot sauces to those who crave flavor and heat!
HI Spice is a locally sourced hot sauce that is inspired and crafted on Maui. Justin and Katie also collaborate with local farmers to source ingredients like lilikoi, guava, pineapple, mango, papaya, honey, which they incorporate in their sauces.
