Love & Spice is a Vietnamese hot sauce producer founded in 2021. The company was established by Michael Phan and his wife with the idea of growing exceptionally hot chili varieties in Vietnam and using them to make naturally fermented sauces. The concept began developing several years earlier, after Phan returned to Vietnam from the United States in 2017 and noticed the limited availability of sauces made from varieties such as habanero. Love & Spice subsequently developed its own cultivation of these chili peppers in Vietnam and organized production around a model that connects the growing of raw ingredients with their processing. The peppers are used as the base for different sauces that vary according to chili variety, recipe, and level of heat. For its hottest varieties, the company uses a natural fermentation process lasting six months. According to the producer, the basic fermented sauces are made from chili peppers, salt, and garlic, without preservatives, artificial colors, or flavor enhancers. The company works with varieties such as Peach Habanero and Red Habanero, while its range also includes milder sauces intended for broader culinary use.
