Born and raised in Miami, Taylor Hicks grew up in a family of passionate cooks. Inspired by his culinary heritage, he inherited a love for food and a desire to push the boundaries of flavor. Drawing from his Peruvian father and mother’s Southern roots, Taylor’s upbringing was a melting pot of diverse aromas and tastes, resulting in a unique fusion of Southern comfort food with an exotic twist.

With a passion for experimenting in the kitchen, Taylor discovered a void in the hot sauce market. Commercial hot sauces failed to enhance the natural flavors of the dishes, often overwhelming them with excessive heat. Determined to create the perfect balance, he embarked on a mission to develop the ultimate sauces. In early 2014, Taylor’s Ultimate Sauces was born.

Commitment To Excellence

To achieve the perfect balance between heat and flavor, Taylor wanted to learn more about chili pepper varietals and discovered chili peppers from Peru and the Andes Mountains, along with savory herbs and spices from Tuscany and the Orient. Additionally, he sourced spicy and aromatic peppers grown right here in the United States. This extensive range of ingredients allows Taylor’s Ultimate Sauces to deliver a symphony of flavors, ensuring a taste experience that goes beyond mere heat. The sauces are the culmination of soulful and exotic cultures, flavors, and traditions, influenced by the Hicks family’s love for cooking. Taylor considers his flavorful creations as a “craft” brand of sauces, like how craft brewers make innovative and specially flavored beers.

So, whether you’re a heat-seeking enthusiast or a flavor connoisseur, Taylor’s Ultimate Sauces will be sure to compliment and elevate your meal. Indulge in the perfect blend of Southern flair, international influences, and gastronomic delight.

You can find Taylor’s Ultimate Sauces at these Milam’s Markets locations: Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, and Miami Springs.
