How it all started.
💋 Meet Vanessa — The Muse Behind the Flavor
Vanessa isn’t your typical hot sauce queen. In fact… she doesn’t even like things too spicy.
She’s French and owns Crêpes & Co, a charming little crêperie in Traverse City. And while she prefers her flavors on the subtle side, she wanted to offer her customers something bold—something smoky and American—to drizzle over their new breakfast burritos.
So she called in Maria.
Maria — Chef. Alchemist. Sauce Whisperer.
With over a decade in the culinary industry and two years at a small-batch hot sauce company, Maria knew exactly how to turn Vanessa’s vision into flavor.
The challenge: create a sauce that was smoky, sultry, and bold—but still balanced enough to win over even a spice skeptic.
The result? Vanessa’s Smokin’ Hot Sauce. Our first flavor. A little wild, a little refined, and absolutely unforgettable.
🌶️ The Flavor-Forward Love Affair Begins
What started as a burrito upgrade quickly became the talk of the crêperie. Customers were putting the sauce on everything—eggs, sandwiches, pizza, you name it. That spark lit the fire for what would become Vanessa’s Sauce Co.
Vanessa: The Muse, The Mood, The Movement
Vanessa’s sauces are a reflection of her vibrant personality—spicy, sassy, and unforgettable.
From the tropical tease of Island Affair to the smoky allure of Taco à Trois, each bottle is an invitation to a flavor adventure.
She’s bold when she wants to be. Flirty when the mood strikes. A little sweet, a little spicy, and always, always in good taste.
Small Batch. Big Personality.
Vanessa’s Sauce Co is built on flavor, not fire. We don’t chase trends—we chase cravings.
