In 1986, this first batches of Pisquaya hot sauce were concocted in Brooklyn, NY from a generations-old recipe used in a family restaurant serving authentic Dominican fare.
This restaurant was owned by Pisqueya founder Maritza Abreu’s parents. after losing the restaurant in a fire and spending some time in the Dominican Republic afterwards, Maritza made it her mission to share her family’s beloved sauce beyond the restaurant—handcrafting each with high-quality ingredients, including peppers sourced directly from Dominican Republic farms.
