Our Journey

Our team has originally come from a brand-building background. We have over 20 years combined experience building brands on e-commerce platforms and marketplaces, including Amazon and eBay. We’re passionate about bringing locally produced brands to the UK market and have helped hundreds of businesses realise and exceed their goals. After years of focusing our skills and efforts on other brands, we decided to take the leap for ourselves, mixing business with pleasure…and a sprinkle of hot sauce on top.

Who are we?

We are a group of foodies with a taste for adventure. Between us we’ve travelled all over the world, sampling some of the most amazing cuisines and fuelling our passion for great flavours. Our three chief chimps were on the hunt for something that would set their tastebuds alight...and boy, did we find it!

Our Goal

We want Jackanapes to become one of the best known brands of chilli products in the UK. With our expanding range of quality products, stellar service and cheeky personalities, we know Jackanapes will soon become a firm favourite in your kitchen.

Where Are We?

We are based in the UK and so is our manufacturing partner. They have farms in Rwanda and also source chillies from the UK and Spain. It wasn’t long before we were sampling some of the most delicious jams, chutneys and hot sauces we’d ever tasted. Jack was crying, Olly’s ears were steaming, and that was just the banana jam…

Our Values

Quality and consistency is important to us, especially when it comes to something as mind-blowing as is it products. Our award-winning manufacturing partner uses ethically sourced produce and regularly conducts Scoville testing on their homegrown chillies to ensure the heat levels align with expected SHU levels. They also only use accredited seed producers and never reuse their seed to ensure 100% fidelity. Plus they're all vegan and vegetarian-friendly!
