OUR STORY AND COMPANY
Dato Brothers Hot Sauce
Dato is a Sicilian name pronounced (Day- Toe)
This company started with a home garden.
When I thought I was planting a normal green jalapeño plant it turned out to actually be red.
My brother and I thought it was hot however, our friends did not. So before the Ghost pepper challenge was a thing, my brother Anthony (ANT) bought some Bhuta Jolokia seeds, also known as the Ghost pepper. These were hot, one plant became many with in a few seasons. As these were growing my brother decided to take it a step further and get the Carolina Reaper seeds.
With all these plants and both of us considered ourselves decent cooks. We decided to claim to be Chefs and create a Gourmet hot sauce better than anything that is being sold in stores. Research, trial and error… we made something Great! We wanted to create a no sugar, natural flavored, thick hot sauce. Hot but still enjoyable. We bottled it up and started testing the market with friends and coworkers from our regular jobs. We knew we had something as people requested it more and more. We went to a co packing company and started production on a small scale. Farmers Markets turned the page as we asked people to sample and buy our two flavors of Hot Sauce. Being a Graphic artist and illustrator we were able to design the labels that we are very proud of. It’s a Gourmet Sauce like no other. We will explain more in the Product description.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
We wanted to create a natural thicker hot sauce. Our Goal was for a Great flavor. Hot but not overwhelming being the most important. We want people to enjoy it.
Noticing that healthy foods are important to ourselves and our customers, we wanted to make a product without sugar, salt or preservatives. We begin with a Bell pepper base and a 100% fresh, sun-ripened Italian tomato sauce. They are free of added salt, preservatives, additives, sugar, and artificial ingredients. They are also GMO-Free, gluten-free and not made from concentrate.
