About us

The production of Gringo Killer chilli sauces and chilli condiments came about when I planted a Rocoto ( Capsicum pubescens) chilli bush in my garden with my medical herbs. The health benefits are many when using chillies, and the main constituent Capsaicin is used in modern medicine. Using plants for treating illnesses is one of my passions and I have Diplomas in both Herbal medicine and Naturopathy.

The original chilli bush that started me off in the chilli food business has since died off after seven years in my garden, but it did leave a self seeded off spring which is now growing in it’s place.

Cooking interesting and different food is another of my interests, and I could never find a chilli sauce that was not just hot, but had flavour and texture.

After adapting my own recipes and using different formulas I have a range of chilli sauces that New Zealanders can use in their cooking and on their food.

My daughter is now helping me in the day to day running of Gringo Killer Gourmet Chilli products so it is now becoming a family business.

Be adventurous when you cook and have fun.
