Grand Opening (Facebook saw it first)
3 months today since we opened the doors.
In that time frame we’ve gone from trading 4 hours a week to 5 days a week, selling just hot sauce to selling coffees, hot choccies, bagels, conti rolls & more.
We’ve released 3 new products, bottled 12,000+ sauces, bought on 15+ new stockists.
August is go time, plan is to fill another 6000+ bottles and onboard 15 new stockist, ambitious but very achievable.
September you can expect 3 new hot sauces (minimum)
Thanks for the support, Les goh 📈

Review of the month! 🌶️
This one from Caitlin had me in stitches 😂 $50 voucher coming your way — flick us a DM to claim it!
We’re running this all year… best review each month scores a $50 voucher to spend online.
Not asking for fake reviews — just tell us what you’re lovin’… and don’t be afraid to add a bit of mayo on it 😉
Feijoa season is here!
“Wtf is a feijoa” you ask…
Think pineapple, guava and pear — sweet, tangy, a little bubblegum-y and it absolutely slaps in a hot sauce.
Even better, these are grown locally down in Manjimup.
If you’re chasing the perfect taco or seafood hot sauce (think salsa verde vibes), this might just be it.
Happy Birthday to us! 🎉🌶️
This one snuck up on me… but 6 years ago today, Jibba’s Hot Sauce was born.
From memory, it started with about 10kg of chillies during COVID and a dodgy little batch made in recycled jars from the bottom of the pantry. A $20 investment to get going — and I haven’t put another dollar in since. No plan, no strategy — definitely no intention of turning it into a business.
Fast forward — we’re now in 200+ venues across Australia and only just getting started.
About 2.5 years ago I hit a crossroads. Trying to juggle being a head chef, growing Jibba’s, and having a young family just wasn’t sustainable, so I took a leap of faith and walked away from cheffing — something I’d been doing since I was 15.
Up until that point, I’d basically taken $0 out of the business for the first 3.5 years — everything just went straight back in to keep it growing.
Looking back… I had absolutely no business trying to sell hot sauce for a living. But somehow, we’ve made it work.
We’re now doing what used to be our first year’s turnover weekly. We’ve moved the business out of the spare room into a commercial space, got married, had two boys, and even hired staff to help (crazy).
Small business is no joke — long hours and wearing hats you’ve got no right wearing… but we’ve been faking it ‘til we make it and having a bloody good time along the way.
Thanks to all the stockists, businesses and legends we’ve collaborated with along the way — and everyone who’s backed us from day one.
This is just the beginning… imagine the next 6 years. 🔥
