Our Story Begins in a Kitchen

Mach 1 Hot Sauce was born out of a quest for flavor and an enduring love for heat. Founders Cassidy and Jillian Nolan started their journey in their kitchen in beautiful Napa, CA.

Cassidy, a proud United States Marine Corps veteran, had served two combat deployments to Afghanistan. During his service, he experienced more than his fair share of bland MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) — a common thread amongst military members.

The couple often debated their favorite MREs, but one thing was always clear: the hot sauce was a necessity, a saving grace in a world of routine meals. However, Cassidy noticed the provided hot sauce bottles lacked more than just heat—they lacked flavor. And he thought he could do better.

Recipe

Mach 1 Hot Sauce Butter

  • ¼ Cup Room temp Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Mach 1 Hot Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Chives
  • A pinch of Salt

Whip all ingredients together with Standup Mixer until well combined, put in a container and chill for 4 hours in the fringe. Use on top of steaks, crostini’s, popcorn and potatoes!

Our Mission

To deliver the ultimate hot sauce experience.

We break through the monotony of big brand sauces, never compromising on flavor and never settling for the ordinary. We pride ourselves on using roasted ingredients that infuse our sauces with a distinct smoky aroma that complements, not masks, the dish it’s added to.

The Future of Mach 1

We are hard at work in the lab with some brand-new flavors and styles for the next generation of hot sauces.

Like experimental aircrafts, our X Series of hot sauces will be small-batch, limited-run sauces available only on our online marketplace.

Join Us on This Journey

Bringing Mach 1 hot sauces from concept to commercialization has been a dream come true for us.

We’re excited to embark on this new journey, and we hope you join us to explore the infinite possibilities of what a hot sauce can be.

You can find our hot sauce, Mach 1, online or at local shops and markets in downtown Napa, and we have our sights set on expanding to the national stage. Go, Mach 1!
