About Tofino Hot Sauce Co.

While sitting around the pub table in Nova Scotia enjoying some of Nova Scotia's iconic 'Dave's World Famous Wing Sauce' the idea for Tofino Hot Sauce was formed. Tofino - the perfect place for an iconic hot sauce, did not yet have one; so creator and flavor-maker, Lise Richard, decided it was up to her to create one.

Since her mother was a school teacher for her career and loves plays on words she said "...and you can call it 'Hot Tuff' because you think you're hot stuff" to which Lise replied, "just for you Ma, I will.". Each flavor contains a unique three chile pepper blend with each chile relating back to a surf adventure or food experience had by Lise. A sweet-vegetable blend is the base to these intensely flavorful sauces that will elevate your tastebuds; not burn your palate.

The hottest of Tofino Hot Sauces' line of sauces - this beauty brings some heat. This sauce is like none you have ever had before.

*Note: for anyone who is a “tough guy” hot sauce eater. While this is the hottest of our product line, it is still well within a ‘consumable’ limit of heat. Tofino Hot Sauce Co's focus is on flavor, not intensity*

Pulling from traditions in Mexican cuisine Tofino Hot Sauce Co have added their favorite, and the always gorgeous (and delicious) Hibiscus flowers to this sauce. Couple that floral blast with the saturated earthy tones of tamarind and you have a unique hot sauce experience.

A sauce that is hot, bold and not for the feint of heart. Use it in cocktails, as a marinade for BBQ or for a “Tuff enough” hot sauce competition.

About Taco Revolution

Ixim was started as a passion project by Michelle Paez and PJ Frayne out of their small home kitchen on Gabriola Island in 2015. Having returned to Canada from living abroad in South America, they missed the wonderful tortillas and other fresh foods that they had become accustomed to. Searching grocery stores all over Vancouver Island, they couldn't find a corn tortilla that came close to what was commonly available in Mexico. So, they purchased a small tortilla press and started making their own.

Several members in their new Island community heard about the tortillas that PJ and Michelle were making, and invited the couple to set up a booth at the Gabriola Farmer's market. The tortillas were an instant hit, and the passion project quickly turned into a hobby business. Within a year, Ixim Foods Inc was incorporated and was selling tortillas from 4 different farmer's markets around the Island. But tortillas weren't enough. People wanted ready-to-eat tacos! Beginning in the second year, the Taco Revolution food truck was built and put into service. It was a huge hit and quickly attracted a large following. Ixim Foods was no longer a hobby business.

The building of a commissary kitchen quickly followed, and with it an expanded product line. Over the course of the last few years, Taco Revolution has grown to become a highly regarded and recognized brand of Mexican Food products on Vancouver Island. And we continue to grow.

About the Dyana's Aji

We are a family from Colombia and we immigrated to Canada back in October of 1999. As it is our culture, Dyana (mom) continued to make the traditional condiment called Aji for our family to put on all of our food. Aji is the Spanish word for "pepper" and the name of the typical mixture of tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Dyana did this to keep a little slice of home in the fridge. When the kids began playing sports (hockey and soccer), Dyana and Carlos (dad) were invited to a potluck dinner, and being South American, were asked to bring the guacamole. Dyana had never made guacamole as it is not a big part of Colombian culture but she knew she could figure something out. In the last minute, Dyana decided to just mash the avocado and add the Aji we had in the fridge. Well the guacamole was a HUGE hit! People were even using their fingers to get the last bits in the bowl, and went on to tell Dyana that she should make it and sell it. Dyana didn't think much of it.

The family then moved to the Lower Mainland. During a chance encounter, Dyana connected with a representative that specialized in specialty foods and shortly after the representative tried Dyana's Aji, Dyana received a call from a distributor stating that if she made it, he would sell it.

Dyana did her homework and got everything set up and the calls from stores wanting to carry the product started! The company quickly set up an assembly line with Allison (daughter) filling the jars and weighing them, Carlos putting on the lids, Dyana, Nicholas (son) and Augusto (grandpa) putting on shrink wraps and stickers. From those humble beginnings, Dyana's Aji has expanded and now sells in most major retail chains. Dyana's Aji continues to grow but is still a family business with  Dyana (CEO), Carlos (CFO) and Nicholas (COO) working full time and daughter, Allison, playing a very important role in large business decisions as well as marketing and advertising.

The middle ground between an introvert and extrovert. The medium sauce can dance with any meal, but may be a bit too sassy for those who are very sensitive (to spice). A tangy flavour with a medium zing! This will become your favourite go-to sauce once you build up your spice tolerance a little bit, by bringing out the flavours of your dishes and will make your taste buds sing. Use and explore in your cooking as an ingredient, as a marinade, or to simply use at the table!

Uses: The possibilities are limitless! Play with it as a hot sauce on top of any meat, vegetarian, or vegan dish. Amazing with any rice or pasta bowls as well. You can also use it as a marinade for chicken wings and ribs. Mix Aji with other ingredients to create delicious dips and sauces such as your new signature white sauce or tartar sauce!

Mix 50/50 with mayo/yogurt/sour cream/vegannaise—it’s the perfect vegetable and pizza dip. Use to marinade your fish, put on your potatoes and in a sandwich!

Made in a facility that also handles nuts, peanuts, soy, eggs, gluten & other allergens.

Ingredients

White Vinegar, Diced Tomatoes, Water, Onions, Lemon Juice, Sea Salt, Corn Starch, Cilantro, Crushed Chili, Cayenne Pepper, Chives, Yeast Extract.

The mild sauce may seem like an introvert, but once you get to know it, it comes out of its shell to mingle with all your meals! Even so, it’s very reserved in terms of spice. A tangy flavour with a mild zing! This will become your new favourite go-to sauce by bringing out the flavours of your dishes and will make your taste buds sing. No need to add salt & pepper. Use and explore in your cooking as an ingredient, as a marinade, or to simply use at the table!

Uses: The opportunities are endless! Feel free to experiment as a marinade but it’s best used as a sauce on top of any meat, vegetarian, or vegan dish. You can also mix it with other ingredients to create delicious dips and sauces such as your new signature guacamole or aioli/tartar sauce!

Mix 50/50 with mayo/yogurt/sour cream or vegannaise—It’s the perfect vegetable and pizza dip. Use to marinade your fish, put on your potatoes and in a sandwich!

About Islanders Authentic Mexican Salsa

I am Lily Rechon-Reguet, I am a Canadian citizen with a Mexican background. I moved from Mexico to Vancouver in 2006 at 24 years old. In Vancouver, I studied as a Web Designer and System Developer at BCIT and worked in the food industry. Married to a lovely French guy Thierry, I had the opportunity to live and work in the food industry in France for three years, where I learned new food processing techniques.

In Mexico, I went to the University of Industrial Engineering. I had the opportunity to work for 6 years in a candy factory; which involved the development of new products, also the production and sales department as part of the team.

When I returned from France, I discovered that many people had a desire for Mexican food. Then I decided to make my line of fresh Mexican salsas that allows people to create their dishes with a Mexican taste. At this moment Islanders Fresh Authentic Mexican Sauce was born. Our family business is based on making and selling fresh, traditional salsas, using authentic traditional Mexican recipes with fresh whole food and local ingredients. Keeping the salsas free of chemicals, gluten, dairy, artificial flavours and colours, MSG, and with no added sugar. Giving you a healthy, 100% authentic and unique Mexican taste.

If you can't visit Mexico now, I invite you to have a little piece of Mexico on your plate. Enjoy!
