Passionate & Enthusiastic, Gourmet & Artisanal, Approachable & Friendly, Local & Community-Oriented, Confident & Playful

Brand Values

• •Quality & Flavor: The primary focus is on creating high-quality, flavorful hot sauces where heat doesn't overpower taste. "No compromise is made between heat and flavor."
• •Artisanal Craftsmanship: They emphasize the careful preparation of their sauces in their Montreal workshop.
• •Natural Ingredients: Products are highlighted as mostly vegan, gluten-free, without added sugar, and preservative-free, using "ingredients [that] are mostly grown on their farm" or sourced locally when possible. "All of our products are 100% natural and none of our ingredients are unpronounceable."
• •Accessibility: Creating gourmet sauces that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, not just extreme chili-heads.
• •Local Support & Sustainability: Commitment to using local ingredients and minimizing environmental impact.
• •Passion for Food: Stemming from a chef co-founder, there's a clear passion for enhancing culinary experiences.

Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Flavor Alongside Heat: While it's hot sauce, consistently message that the primary goal is delicious, balanced flavour, not just scorching heat. Use descriptive adjectives for taste profiles (e.g., "rich," "zesty," "smoky," "bright").
• •Maintain an Enthusiastic and Passionate Voice: Let the love for good food and quality ingredients shine through. Use exclamation points judiciously for excitement, and share the story and inspiration behind the sauces.
• •Be Approachable and Inclusive: Avoid overly technical jargon or an elitist tone. Write as if you're talking to a friend who loves food. Use inviting language like "discover," "try," "elevate your everyday."
• •Highlight Artisanal and Local Roots: Remind the audience that the sauces are handcrafted in Montreal, often with local ingredients. This builds trust and a sense of community. Use phrases like "small-batch," "handcrafted," "Montreal-made."
• •Use the #Doyourselfaflavor Tagline Consistently: Incorporate this playful and confident tagline across different platforms to reinforce brand identity and encourage a proactive approach to flavour exploration.
