About Heatwave

Heatwave Hot Sauce is the exclusive importer of Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. in Australia and New Zealand. We started Heatwave because we wanted to bring proper hot sauce here, made with care and real ingredients. Our role is simple. We work with one of the most respected hot sauce makers in the world and make sure their sauces reach shelves and tables across our region.

About Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co.

Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. began in Thunder Bay, Canada, in 2015. It grew from a small hobby into a proper production kitchen after friends and family kept asking for more. Their sauces are made in small batches with simple ingredients. No water, no thickening agents, and no chemical preservatives. Just peppers, vinegar, salt, and natural seasonings. That’s what makes them bright, balanced, and easy to use with almost any food.

Heartbeat now supplies over 3,000 retailers in North America and has become a trusted name for hot sauce fans worldwide. They’ve even teamed up with UFC fighter Dustin Poirier on his Louisiana Style hot sauce, which is officially endorsed by the UFC.

What We Stand For

We believe hot sauce should taste good, not just be hot. Our focus is on flavour, quality, and consistency. By importing Heartbeat, we’re giving people here access to the same sauces that have earned global respect. We’re proud to support a brand that values natural methods and keeps their process honest and straightforward.

Looking Ahead

Our aim is to keep growing the hot sauce scene in Australia and New Zealand. We’ll continue working with Heartbeat and look for other producers who share the same standards. The goal is simple. Bring in the best, keep it real, and make it easy for anyone to enjoy.
