About Island Son Canada

Island Son Canada Inc. was formally created by me (Jeff D) in 2019 but the story really begins in the 1960s when my dad immigrated to Canada from Barbados. He eventually met my mum, and they started a family in Toronto. When I was a kid dad offered me some mysterious yellow sauce with my spaghetti one night that mesmerized my taste buds and had me craving more. I was hooked on the added flavour and heat! Meals have never been the same. I now add hot sauce to almost all my meals and have tried all manner of hot sauces – from mild to ‘prank’ level heat, from all over the world – yet was unable to find that specific flavour dad introduced to me. I began making my own hot sauces, experimenting with different peppers and natural ingredients, trying other Scotch Bonnet-based Caribbean sauces but something was always missing. It all became clear when my lovely wife, Jody, and I decided to travel to Barbados for a vacation in 2018. BINGO! The sauces around the island transported me back to my childhood. I want to make the best of the best! My mission: Bring that unique, intense flavour and HEAT to your meals. Read their story
