About Encona
Encona is the UK's best-loved hot pepper sauce brand, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025. Launched in London in 1975 by Grace Foods UK, Encona was the first Caribbean hot pepper sauce to be stocked in UK supermarkets. The brand's classic West Indian Original Hot Pepper Sauce recipe, blending habanero and scotch bonnet peppers with traditional island spices, hasn't changed in over 40 years. From its Caribbean roots, Encona has expanded to offer sauces inspired by India, the Far East, and the USA, plus chilli jams. The brand has a rich heritage in Afro-Caribbean, Indian, and Asian households across the UK, with enduring cross-over appeal to mainstream British consumers. Celebrity fans include Naomi Campbell, Gordon Ramsay, Alesha Dixon, and Rylan Clark. Encona sauces are available at all major UK supermarkets including Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's. The 2025 50th anniversary campaign includes limited-edition bottles and a partnership with Time Out London for Hot Sauce Summer.
