You don't know what it's like to make hot sauce until your hands burn for two days and you want to scream every time you see a chili pepper in the grocery store. Employees at Captain Mowatt's® learned this lesson when they started making hot sauce in 2002.

What started out to be one of life's lessons turned into a viable, nationally recognized, Maine gourmet and specialty food company, and Captain Mowatt's® wouldn't trade the experience for the world.
