Apostle

Apostle Hot Sauce (Aotearoa) was conceived in 2018 following a move to Paekākāriki. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces for years, so in an attempt to get to know our community, they started selling them at the local market. With an overwhelmingly positive response from friends and neighbours they decided they had to do more. Mat & Lydia have a strong passion for using local ingredients, the peppers they use are hand picked  and the Kawakawa leaves are from their own garden (KAUTE!). They refuse to use any artificial colours, preservatives, flavours or thickeners, instead relying on fresh ingredients to create the vibrant range of sauces. 

Apostle's beautiful labels were hand drawn by the remarkably talented and kindhearted Juju. Check out her other amazing works here.

Heavily inspired by religious iconography and tarot cards they wanted each bottle and its contents to be considered as a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your mouth.
