Humboldt Hotsauce is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Cal and Heidi Ferris. Humboldt Hotsauce is different than other hot sauces due to its use of fresh and clean ingredients. Each hot sauce features layers of flavor created by Chef and Owner Calhoun Ferris. Cal hopes that you play with the hot sauces by adding them to everyday foods and create dishes with more complex flavors, with simply the shake of a few drops of our hot sauces into any dish.

​Humboldt Hotsauce is ​being featured in markets all over the U.S. including 90+ Kroger Fred Meyer markets in ​Oregon, Washington State, Idaho and Alaska and in a specialty shop in Canada.

Humboldt Hotsauce “Island Style” and “Trinidad Stinger” have both been featured in FUEGO BOX and both received rave reviews by the recipients!

Humboldt Hotsauce has won several awards, including:

2 awards recently at the 2019 Scovie Awards – “Island Style” received 2nd Place in the Fruit Hot Sauce Category. Interestingly enough, TIED for 2nd Place in the Fruit Hot Sauce Category with our newest creation, the “Trinidad Stinger” released in 2018.

Cal has been working as a Chef for over 25 years and has traveled all over the world. Cal has a certain love for Caribbean, Creole and Island style foods. His hot sauce’s feature flavors from his travels, with ingredients such as mango and pineapple, and other tropical ingredients.
