Jay Calvert of London, Ontario is finally making his dream come true. He has entered the Hot and Spicy foods market with his first offering - Jake Albert's Fuego Rojo, a pomegranate habanero glaze.
As a boy, Jay was fascinated with cooking. He dabbled with making his own barbeque sauce at 7, only flavored ketchup, but to him, it was his creation.
What Jay has developed is a truly unique specialty hot sauce. A blend of sweet pomegranate and the finishing of the mighty, fiery habanero pepper. The creation is called Fuego Rojo, Spanish for "Red Fire".
"Spicy foods puts a lot of people off as the commercially available products tend to focus more on the heat than the flavor, typically this is a no go for most who don't even want to venture because of previous experiences with the really spicy foods. What I have done is made the flavour come through first, then you get the heat which is not overwhelming." Now he has started his own local spicy foods company, Jake Albert's Specialty Foods.
Background
Jay is a driven, dedicated person, who is always striving for perfection in everything he does. The foods industry is where Jay's heart is, and has always longed to be a part of it. This is Jay's way to be apart of the world he truly loves. Jay is not a chef, nor has he had formal culinary training he does have the self taught skill to finding the right recipe and creation to please any palette.
