Behind the Lab
We are an Edinburgh based hot sauce business! Aiming to deliver deliciously diverse hot sauces, in bottles no less. Learn a little bit about our company and what it takes to create all these amazing experimental sauces right here in the Professor's Laboratory.
"It is known that a great hot sauce isn’t just packing heat, it has to be choc full of flavour."
"Into each bottle I have poured my care, my passion and my will to spice up your life."
The Professor in the Hott Seat:
“The name is inspired by my time at Heriot-Watt University.
At Heriot Hott we are passionate about the planet, that’s why all of our sauces are vegan and their ingredients grow close to home, so that you can enjoy them while we reduce our carbon footprint. That’s not to say that you cant use them on whatever you like!
Like many businesses, Heriot Hott started as an idea, a dream if you will, made reality with a little help from some old friends. Amongst other things, their assistance in creating logos and labels and offering valued advice has been essential in the birth of Heriot Hott.”
