About the brand

Not mass made. Bold sauce with a point of view.

Old Guard Pepper Co. sits somewhere between pantry staple and illustrated character study. The sauce is small-batch, the artwork is original, and the whole thing is being built by hand from the backyard up.

How it starts

Grown from seed, close to home.

Before anything hits the pan, it starts in the dirt. The peppers are grown from seed in Santa Barbara backyards, then carried through by hand into small batches with real flavor and a real point of view.

Hand-drawn identity

The artwork is part of the sauce.

The peppers are real, but so is the visual world around them. Old Guard is built around original pepper characters that make the brand feel specific, a little weird, and impossible to confuse with anyone else.
