Arizona Pepper has been making hot sauce in Mesa since 1985, when a local family set out to build Southwest flavor from real peppers instead of shortcuts. The recipes have been passed down and adjusted along the way, but the process itself has barely changed. Peppers are handpicked and cooked down in batches small enough to watch closely. More than four decades on, their hot sauces come out of the same Mesa operation where the family started, a bottle at a time.
