The Sirens Story
Some legends say mermaids are temptresses of the sea, a bad omen; a sign a sailors boat was going under. In other myths they believe mermaids are guardians - there for your protection & guidance.
Perhaps it could be that like people, mermaids have good days and bad days. Things they like, love or obsess over. Personalities - unique to each one - much like our hot sauces.
Our mermaids were born to tell the story of Tofino Hot Sauce. To grow the sauce from a product to an experience.
Learn about our flavour-forward line of sauces through the tales and adventures of our acquired sisters - Mazu (MA-zu), Maïread (May-red), Mareina (Ma-rey-na).
