The Flavor Story

The Puerto Rican table translated into a bright fermented hot sauce.

Borinquen Fire captures the Puerto Rican table in sauce form: bright, herbal, citrusy, and alive with layered pepper character. A fermented base of Scotch bonnet and aji dulce brings heat and aroma, while pineapple, garlic, onion, culantro, cilantro, and lime give the sauce the unmistakable profile of island cooking - somewhere between sofrito, pique boricua, and a chef-driven tropical hot sauce. It is built to wake up roast pork, grilled fish, mofongo, rice, fried plantains, and anything else that wants heat with real flavor behind it.

Pineapple supports the pepper ferment while culantro, cilantro, onion, garlic, and lime create the unmistakable rhythm of island cooking. The result lands between pique, sofrito, and a polished table sauce made for pernil, mofongo, seafood, rice, tostones, and empanadas.
