San Diego Pepper Company is a husband and wife duo founded by Kieran and Jacklyn Parhar, who launched their business after being inspired by a hot sauce they tried during their honeymoon in St. Thomas in 2021. Handcrafted in small batches in a commercial kitchen in Encinitas, their sauces prioritize flavor over pain – a refreshing departure from gimmicky hot sauces focused solely on heat. With Kieran having a career in multimedia, they cut costs on label design, photography, videography, and website maintenance by doing it themselves, allowing them to maintain full control over quality and keep their business authentically community-minded.
While hot sauce is their product, their goal is to establish themselves as a community staple, with their north star being creating a positive impact in San Diego. They donate a portion of products and profits to local nonprofits, participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program (maintaining the northbound Balboa Avenue exit on the 805 freeway), and support charity fundraisers throughout San Diego. When you choose San Diego Pepper Company, you're not just getting exceptional, handcrafted hot sauce – you're supporting a local business dedicated to making San Diego a better place, one bottle at a time.
