MEET PATRICK BERESFORD
The Man Behind the Heat
Patrick Beresford, the mastermind behind our fiery sauces, has a remarkable story and a love for producing original sauces. What started off as a hobby on his days off while working in the mining industry in Central Queensland, turned into something much more during his recovery from a spinal injury in Brisbane, Australia that was when the humble beginnings of our brand first took root.
Since then our brand has soared to worldwide recognition, clinching prestigious awards all over the USA and Australia for the past 8 years. Patrick's unique talent lies in his ability to expertly balance flavours and heat levels in each handcrafted sauce, quite often leaving customers and competition judges astounded by the level of flavour in his passion-infused creations. With meticulous attention to detail and authentic style our sauces have earned high praise from critics all over the world, the creation of his signature "13 Angry Scorpions," is a brand of sauces that has truly taken the international sauce industry by storm.
Since our launch in 2017, our range of 8 distinct sauces has garnered widespread acclaim, from intense Louisiana heat to milder, family-friendly BBQ flavours. Aged to perfection, each sauce features a blend of chili peppers aged in vats for up to 2 years, resulting in deep, rich flavors that elevate any dish. Made with some of the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, our sauces offer a premium, internationally renowned taste experience that has impressed A-list celebrities on the show Hot Ones (in Brooklyn, NYC) and international food critics alike.
There are several levels of heat to suit everyone in the family, from mild barbecue loved by adults and kids alike, to the almost nuclear Carolina Reaper. This is definitely a staple pantry item and can be used in any culinary cuisine and should have a place in every pantry in Australia and beyond.
Together, the 13AS Family will continue to spice up your world with our passion and dedication, igniting flavours and forging connections that transcend boundaries and bring people together through good food.
