A Legacy of Caribbean Craftsmanship
Matouk’s has been a cornerstone of Caribbean hot sauce culture since its founding in 1967.

Classic Flavor, Signature Texture
What sets Matouk’s West Indian Flambeau Sauce apart is its distinctive texture and balance.
Unlike thinner hot sauces, Flambeau offers a thicker, more substantial consistency—similar to a classic table condiment—making it exceptionally easy to use across a variety of foods.
At the heart of the recipe are pickled Scotch bonnet peppers, known for their bright, fruity heat and unmistakable Caribbean character.
These peppers are carefully blended with complementary ingredients to create a sauce that is both flavorful and approachable.
