La Picon
Hot Sauce - Salsas La Picon
La Picon is more than a sauce—it’s a culinary journey through the heart of Panama’s history. Each bottle captures the flavors and traditions that have shaped our identity over centuries. Its roots trace back to the ancient Indigenous communities who first cultivated the land, enriched by the vibrant African heritage that transformed Panama’s foodways, and influenced by the bold, enduring notes of Spanish cuisine.
When you taste La Picon, you’re not just adding heat or flavor to a dish—you’re experiencing a piece of Panama’s story. Every ingredient reflects a culture, every spice honors an ancestor. La Picon is a tribute to our roots, a celebration of the diversity that defines us, and a reminder that Panama’s cuisine is a mosaic of histories woven together with pride and tradition.
