Part one · Behind the scenes

Walk the floor of a working factory

Michel meets you at the gate and takes you through the factory as it runs: the kettle cooking a batch, the bottling line, and the labels going on by hand. You watch from a viewing area close enough to see and smell everything, safely.

The story, from 2007
How a local business started with one question, and how each flavor came to be, told by the man who made them.
Island ingredients
Papaya, mango, pineapple, Madame Jeanette and habanero: where the flavors come from, and why the peppers grow here.

Part two · The tasting

Taste the whole range, mild to wild

The whole range, tasted in order from fruity and mild to seriously hot, with the people who make them standing next to you. Michel explains what you are tasting and why, so the answer to “why does the papaya one taste like that?” comes from the person who decided it should.

The heat challenge
Finish with one of our hottest sauces, if you want to. Optional, memorable, and the bit everyone films.
Your photo moment
Our “I Survived Aruba Heat” spot. Proof you were here, and that you made it.

Part three · What you take home

You leave with more than a memory

Everything here is in the $30. Nothing is added at the end.

You are shown around by the man who makes it

Michel Frank started Aruba Heat in 2007, cooking sauce in small batches from island fruit and peppers. He still develops every flavor, and he gives the tasting himself.

It is a working factory, not a visitor centre. You will see the kettle going, the line running and the labels going on by hand, because that is what is happening anyway.
