TADESO Hot Sauce

TADESO started with spice — Ethiopian berbere, cardamom, and chili traditions carried across generations. When our family recipe found a home in Oakland, California, it wasn’t just about heat. It was about bringing people together around food that makes mouths dance.

From there, we started blending — mostly as an excuse to get people talking when we had company over. Friends pushed us to bottle it, and that’s the point TADESO was born. We came up with a sauce that judges of “ordinary heat” weren’t always sold on, but the people tasting it sure were.

Years passed, kitchens changed, but the passion never did. Now TADESO lives on — 40 years of family craft, three continents in every bottle, and still going. Hungarian paprika for sweetness. Japanese wasabi for lift. Ethiopian berbere & chilies for deep, earthy fire.

We’re Passionate About:
