Not just another sauce company
Our founder (the OG Dave) set the hot sauce category on fire with his Insanity Sauce—dubbed the "hottest sauce in the universe.” Throwing the rulebook aside and keeping it just a little (ok, maybe more than a little) crazy, we have spent the last thirty-plus years producing super-hot sauces, creamy (and vegan!) not-so hot sauces, and uniquely positioned, flavorful ’better-for-you’ premium pasta sauces.
our philosophy
Clean ingredients
At the heart of our pasta sauce is a simple promise of clean, wholesome ingredients—just like you’d use in your own kitchen. Because great pasta starts with a sauce you can feel good about.
flavor to feel good about
Ingredients you can pronounce, crafted to make your next dish indescribable. We offer a dynamic range of flavors to accommodate even the most discerning eaters
NO RULes
Dave Hirschkop changed the game with the original ultra-hot sauce, Dave's Insanity Sauce in 1993. We've been innovating and pushing the boundaries of flavor ever since.

I can finally eat red sauce again! Regular tomato sauce is too acidic for me. This butternut squash pasta sauce allows me to make lasagna, spaghetti, and anything that needs a red sauce. It has a little sweetness to it.
Sprouts used to carry it, but now I can’t find it in the stores anymore
Thank you for making this, I will order directly from the source.

Very hot! The more complex flavor put me off at first, but the heat has won me over. Unable to locate Insanity in stores. Ghost is available, so Ghost it shall be.
Are there preservatives in your sauces? There are none listed in the ingredients, are there any in the individual ingredients?

What did you do to Le Bon Magot? We were buying it at Whole Foods, and eve Amazon, and sometimes the company’s website, but it doesn’t exist anywhere. Did you put the brand out of business? Could be thé worst acquisition ever. Dave’s bought the brand and then deep sixed it? How sad.

This stuff is brutal!!! It says 'Carolina Reaper', and that's exactly what's in it. Several sprinkles brings the pain! I'm going to keep buying it. It's money well spent! Keep up the good work, Dave's!

I just found this sauce at sprouts less than a year ago. It must have been right after they changed the recipe to be without butter. It was great because I have difficulty with dairy. Then they started carrying the one with butter on the shelf. Then they stopped carrying it completely. It had to order it especially without butter thru sprouts. Sounds like they may have gone back to the original recipe with butter. I will call Dave's and find out. Seems like from all the reviews they need to make both recipes. The one with butter for the people that have a problem with acid and the one without butter for the people that have a problem with dairy. This sauce is awesome either way. In a perfect world they could make both lol
