ABOUT the Chef

Zachary Maxsween's foray into the fiery world of hot sauce began in the heart of Louisiana's swamps. Growing up in a small town in this culturally rich state, he was immersed in a world where food is more than sustenance—it's a way of life. This early exposure to bold flavors and unique culinary traditions laid the foundation for his future endeavors.

During his service as a Marine, Zachary turned his passion into practice, making hot sauces as a hobby for his fellow Marines. This not only honed his skills but also instilled a deep understanding of the importance of flavor over heat in his sauces. His creations were not just about adding spice but about enhancing meals with carefully crafted flavors.

In 2019, Zachary moved to Denver, bringing with him the down-home spirit and culinary richness of Louisiana. This transition was pivotal, as it marked the transformation of his hobby into Sween's Hot Sauces, a professional venture. His approach to sauce-making combines the robust, soulful flavors of his Louisiana upbringing with the innovative culinary scene of Denver.

Zachary's hot sauces, much like his journey, are a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Each bottle from Sween's Hot Sauces is a tribute to his belief that true culinary excellence lies in flavor complexity, capturing the essence of his roots in the Louisiana swamps and his evolution as a chef in the dynamic city of Denver.
