About Moe Mountain Hot Sauce

​

At Moe Mountain Hot Sauce, our story starts with countless hours in the kitchen—mixing, taste-testing, and surviving more than a few eye-watering late nights. Out of that passion came our signature creation: Moe Mountain’s Original Hot Sauce, a small-batch, handcrafted blend made for true heat lovers.

​

This isn’t your average store-bought sauce. Designed for those who crave real flavor with serious fire, our recipe combines all-natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar, cumin, and cocoa powder to create a rich, smoky, unforgettable taste. But the real star is the infamous bhut jolokia—better known as the ghost pepper—one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. The result? A bold, fiery, full-flavored hot sauce that lives up to our motto: “It’s kinda hot.”

​

Moe Mountain Heat Inc. officially launched in 2014, but the journey began years earlier. Tired of bland meals and mass-produced hot sauces that missed the mark, our founder—lifelong chili-head and flavor fanatic—set out to create a hot sauce with authentic heat, clean ingredients, and no shortcuts. What started as a personal quest for better flavor quickly transformed into a brand loved by heat seekers across the country.

​

Today, Moe Mountain Hot Sauce continues to push the limits of flavor and fire with craft-made, small-batch sauces that elevate everything from tacos and wings to seafood and backyard BBQ. Whether you’re a seasoned spice lover or exploring the world of artisan hot sauces for the first time, Moe Mountain brings the heat—naturally.

 

You would get more or less mouth burning heat, sure, but most of the sauces lacked any real flavor to compliment the food itself. In 2004 Christmas, he got his own “hot sauce making kit” as a gift and the spark was lit. Instead of buying a sauce after another he decided to come up with his own recipe.

 

For years he was making hot sauce, not just for himself but to friends, family members, and co-workers until one stood out so much, people would be asking more of it to have. Today we call that sauce “Moe Mountain Hot Sauce- Original”. At the time being a volunteer firefighter at Upper Greenwood Lake Company 5, bringing hot sauce for the other fellow firefighters and encouraged to start a real company- he heard the history around the area they were protecting from a Senior Fire Dept. Chief. Back in the day, Upper Greenwood Lake was called “Moe Mountain” after its owner Ira W. Moe. To
honor that history and his friend, so is our company.

 

For that same reason, and values the company has- on every bottle we encourage people to support their local volunteers, like they encouraged us. Since 2014 Moe Mountain Heat Inc. has won 19 awards (and counting), grown to be a known local company, and has served heat and flavor to hundreds of people near and far. Not bad for a guy that started with just Bed, Bath and Beyond hot sauce making kit and a lot of passion for tasty
food.
