Sobremesa Supper Club held a menu tasting this past Sunday at Longroom in celebration of their Aji Amarillo crowdfunding launch. The culinary art collective – formed by Efren, Mayra, Sandra, Gabriel and Felipe – which has been creating food centered social project dinners in Chicago since 2012, decided to finally make their infamous Ají amarillo sauce available to everyone.
What is Ají Sobremesa?
Ají Sobremesa is a flavorful, versatile hot sauce made from Peruvian yellow peppers. It can be used as an ingredient, a dip, or to ramp up the flavor and heat of all your favorite dishes and snacks. Consistent with Sobremesa’s commitment to their community, the sauce is 100% natural, non-GMO and has no added preservatives.

“The Impact
We truly believe that Ají Sobremesa is a hot sauce unlike any other in the US today. For 3 years, everyone who has tried it has loved it. Your contribution will help others discover this amazing sauce, and it will also help establish a company that is committed to sourcing the ingredients and sauce in a responsible way. You will also be supporting a 100% Latino/a owned business that is committed to helping and building the community in which it lives and operates.
Risks & Challenges
Sobremesa Supper Club is an established food project and Ají Sobremesa is a reality. Every dollar you invest in the company will go towards helping us accelerate the production and distribution of this sauce. However, risks do exist: not raising enough capital could impact our ability to make the sauce available quickly, get all needed permits, etc… It is important for us to keep the momentum of Sobremesa Supper Club going, and make this sauce available to people who are looking for new hot sauce experiences and are interested in discovering Latin flavors.
This team is committed to Ají Sobremesa. The same effort and passion that helped drive the success of Sobremesa Supper Club will be behind our launch of Ají Sobremesa.
