With six different purees in your peppertoire, Louisiana Pepper Exchange replaces the need to have a variety of expensive fresh peppers in the restaurant kitchen at all times. While our easy-to-add products taste “just picked,” they cut down on labor costs (no prep time needed to de-stem and de-seed the peppers). Plus, because our products don’t have additives. There’s no waste or spoilage to contend with.

In addition to amazing heat and flavor, pepper puree is easy to use – 1 spoonful is roughly equal to 1 fresh pepper. Because it eliminates chopping, dicing, and slicing peppers, it’s a time saver in the kitchen. As a bonus, it is shelf stable for up to 2 years and clean label – just pepper and salt (and vinegar in chipotle)…that’s it.

Chef Blake Jackson

New Orleans, LA

Louisiana Pepper Exchange’s products have elevated our sauces and salsa's to a new level. Always consistent and add great flavor in all applications.

Johnny's Tavern

When catering in New Orleans, depth and layers of flavor is a must. Using
fresh vegetables for sauces and recipes, especially hot peppers, consistency in heat can be a challenge. The entire line of pepper purees from La Pepper Exchange has been a game changer here at Mirepoix Catering. With our food and cocktails having to span from traditional Creole and Cajun to Latin, Tex-Mex and everything in between there isn’t a single flavor that isn’t represented.
