Our Story
FROM WOODWORKING TO WING SAUCE: THE ACCIDENTAL RECIPE
Before Olde Town Sauce Co., Luke built custom furniture. Precision, craft, and getting the details right were already part of how he worked. When a neighbor's recipe swap led to a series of substitutions, including swapping Tabasco for cayenne and reworking the Italian seasonings, the result was a sauce unlike anything on the market. The family launched officially in March 2024, and the same care that went into Luke's woodworking now goes into every batch. The recipe has not changed. The commitment to quality has only grown.
What Makes Us Different
HANDCRAFTED CONDIMENTS MADE THE RIGHT WAY
Olde Town Sauce Co. was never built to be the hottest sauce on the planet. It was built to be the most useful one in your kitchen. Every decision, from the ingredient list to the manufacturing process, reflects a commitment to flavor, transparency, and quality that mass-market brands simply cannot match.
FLAVOR-FORWARD RECIPE
The Lovin' Good Sauce leads with the rich, layered taste of cayenne pepper mash, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire. Heat follows on the back end, not the front.

Luke and Ashley built this brand from their home kitchen in Cherokee County, GA. Every decision still runs through the family, and that personal investment shows in every bottle.

Common Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OLDE TOWN SAUCE CO.
Why does my Olde Town Sauce separate in the bottle?
The separation is completely normal and is actually a good sign. Olde Town Sauce Co. products contain no added preservatives or stabilizers, which means the ingredients settle naturally over time, just like any other real food product. A quick shake before pouring is all it takes to bring everything back together. If a sauce never separates, it likely contains stabilizers or additives that keep it artificially uniform. The separation is a signal that what is in the bottle is exactly what the label says.Is the Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce meant to be a challenge sauce?
No. The Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce was specifically designed to highlight the flavor of the Reaper pepper rather than focus purely on heat. The goal was never to create something prohibitively hot. It is made for people who want to experience what the Reaper actually tastes like, not just how much it burns. That said, it is still a high-heat sauce, so those sensitive to spice should start with a small amount.Where can I buy Olde Town Sauce Co. products in Georgia?
Olde Town Sauce Co. is currently carried at Wilkes of Ball Ground, JC's Family Market, and The Corner Butcher Shop, all located in the Cherokee County, GA area.

All active products are also available through the online store for direct delivery.What does the Lovin' Good Sauce taste like?
The Lovin' Good Sauce is built on a base of cayenne pepper mash, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The result is a layered, savory flavor profile with a mild-to-medium heat level that builds on the back end rather than hitting immediately. The balsamic and red wine vinegar bring brightness and a slight tang, while the soy and Worcestershire add a savory, umami depth. It works across a wide range of foods rather than competing with whatever it is on.What foods pair well with the Lovin' Good Sauce?
The sauce was built to be versatile, and it shows in how many different applications it works in. Chicken wings are the top use case and the one that earned the brand its award at the Atlanta Hot Sauce Fest.

It also works well in Bloody Marys, scrambled eggs, breakfast burritos, shrimp and grits, Brunswick stew, and drizzled over a smoked block of cream cheese.What is included in the Gift Bundle and how much does it cost?

Olde Town Sauce Co. was founded by Luke and Ashley in Cherokee County, Georgia. The recipe originated during a neighbor's recipe swap when Luke made a series of substitutions, including using cayenne pepper instead of Tabasco and adjusting the Italian seasonings, producing a flavor profile unlike anything they had tasted before. After about two and a half years of development and two seasons selling out at local farmers markets, the brand launched officially in March 2024. The company later partnered with a professional after a year and a half of searching for one that could reproduce the recipe without adding preservatives or stabilizers.
