FAQs

  • Unopened, they’re good for one year from the date of cook. We produce in weekly small batches, so every bottle is fresh from the kitchen, not the warehouse. Once opened, enjoy within three months for peak flavour — and yes, we see you, hot sauce collectors, with shelves that look more like art installations than pantries.

  • Really good ones. Every sauce starts with premium Australian produce. The only exceptions are a few ingredients that simply aren’t made here — tamari and maple syrup in the Blood Lime Scorpion, and fennel seed in the Kakadu Fennel. Everything else is grown, sourced, and crafted locally. No oil, no preservatives, no shortcuts.

    Ingredients are listed with all the sauces on the website.

Thousand Apologies started with a simple frustration. Hot sauces that care more about noise than flavour. Founded by designer and obsessive cook turned sauce maker Rita, it’s where flavour, design and purpose collide.

Born in Melbourne and made in small batches, every bottle is built around flavour first. Layered. Balanced. A little unexpected. Heat is there, but it knows its place. Nothing exists for shock value.

We care just as much about what surrounds the sauce as what’s inside it. Fully circular. Ingredients, production, packaging, brand. Considered from start to finish, not just dressed up at the end.

Proudly independent. Quietly cause-driven. Ongoing charity support built into how we operate, not added when it suits.

If it doesn’t earn its place, it doesn’t make the cut.
