How Singularity Sauce Co Spiced Up Aberdeen with London Inspiration

Singularity Sauce Co, a hot sauce company based in Tarves, Aberdeen, has taken the city by storm with its unique and flavourful sauces. The founder, Mark McAulay, was inspired by his time in London, where he discovered a passion for hot sauces and the potential of small batch, interesting products. Upon returning to Aberdeen, Mark decided to turn his hobby into a business and started Singularity Sauce Co in November 2019.

Since its humble beginnings in Mark’s house, Singularity Sauce Co has grown exponentially. The company now operates from a custom-built sauce lab in Dyce and produces tens of thousands of bottles of sauce annually. The range includes popular flavours like Miso, Everyday, Buffalo, and the incredibly spicy Our Hottest Sauce, which features 47% Moruga scorpion chillies. Mark and his team are constantly refining their product range and have plans for exciting new releases in the coming years.

What sets Singularity Sauce Co apart is its commitment to using locally-sourced ingredients. The chillies come from growers in Scotland, Bedfordshire, Cornwall, and Devon, while other ingredients are sourced from local businesses in Aberdeen. This dedication to supporting the local community is evident in the brand’s collaborations with Aberdeen-based companies like Fierce Beer, The Aberdeen Lynx, The Gaff, and The Coffee Apothecary.

In addition to their core hot sauce range, Singularity Sauce Co also offers a unique product called ‘Buy Ice Cream’. This dessert sauce, which varies in flavour from hot chocolate-based to black forest to medium-to-hot raspberry, is a delightful treat for adventurous taste buds.

You can find Singularity Sauce Co’s products at local markets in the north-east, as well as on their website. The brand has also expanded its reach to delis, butchers, bakeries, hot sauce shops, stores, and bars across the UK, France, and Germany. The success of Singularity Sauce Co has been recognized with awards, including several Great Taste Awards and Best New Product at the 2023 North East Scotland Food & Drink Awards.

Mark McAulay, the passionate entrepreneur behind Singularity Sauce Co, is grateful for the support of the people of Aberdeen. He acknowledges that hot sauce may not have been synonymous with the city in the past, but thanks to the continued support of customers, Singularity Sauce Co has put Aberdeen on the map for craft hot sauce. With plans for further growth and expansion, Mark is excited to share his love for hot sauce with even more people.

So, if you’re looking to add some heat and flavour to your meals, give Singularity Sauce Co a try. You won’t be disappointed!
