Paulman Acre Smoked Pepper Sauce isn’t a traditional hot sauce: it’s a mellow, medium all-purpose sauce that combines pineapple, mango and papaya with applewood-smoked habaneros for a smoky, fruit-forward sauce with a creeping, citrusy heat. It contains coconut.
It took second place for Louisiana sauces at the 2024 Spicy Flave Awards and third for spicy sauces at the 2026 Artisan Flave Awards, and Paulman Acre lists first place and grand champion at the 2023 Sparky Awards. Add it to eggs, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, rice, pizza, veggies and meats. Paulman Acre is Tim Paulman’s brand, started in 2014 when he left the tech industry, and it’s made at California Hot Sauce Solutions in Oceanside, California, which he co-founded in 2018.
