 Note From Steven Shomler about this episode:

 Via the Culinary Treasure Podcast, I have interviewed over 100 people in the culinary world and this interview I had with Marie Sharp is very, very special to me.

 Marie Sharp is a national hero in Belize, and she is an incredible businesswoman with a very inspiring story.

 In 1981 Marie started her first hot sauce company making her acclaimed habanero pepper sauce . That company was stolen from her and in 1992 she started her second company – Marie Sharp’s Fine Foods.

 One interesting note about her journey - in 2021 Marie Sharps Hot Sauce (founded in 1992) released a 40 Year anniversary limited edition hot Sauce In a clever nod to the 40 years that Marie has been making her incredible hot sauce.

 In addition to having her first company unscrupulously taken from her, Marie had to also battle back from the loss of her son and the loss her husband both of whom were involved in her company.

 Marie’s courage and tenaciousness is to be celebrated.

 It was an honor to be able to interview this dynamic woman.
