'Life is short don't miss the sunshine' - Hot sauce loving Londoner brings taste of the Caribbean to the UK
Jamaican-born Londoner, Nicole is spicing up UK Kitchens with her new hot sauce range Nimi Nosh.
Is it me or are things getting hot in here? It must be the arrival of new hot sauce Nimi Nosh!
Its founder, Londoner Nicole Michael, has made it her mission to spice up the UK sauce scene - and it starts with a taste of the Caribbean.
Nicole is bringing a taste of Jamaica to British kitchens with her bold, blazing and irresistible new hot sauce range, that is now available at Tesco.
Raised in Portland, Jamaica, Nicole learned the magic of flavour from her mother, a food trader selling herbs and spices in the markets of Kingston.
As the second eldest of seven, Nicole spent her childhood helping her mother at the markets, an experience that planted the seed of her lifelong obsession with flavour.
“Every pot of food was sunshine,” Nicole recalls, and now she’s bottling that brilliance for the masses. From her first Scotch bonnet sauce sold door-to-door in school, to building an import empire serving over 300 shops.
After two years, 70 markets and countless batches perfected with love and relentless determination, Nimi Nosh launches this month in Tesco stores and online. Nicole’s debut line features Epic Jerk Quick Marinade & Sauce, Cracking Curry Quick Marinade & Sauce and Authentic Pepper Sauce - all bursting with deep, aromatic spices, rich heritage and mouth-tingling intensity.
“I refused to settle for ‘good enough.’ This is my life’s work,” says Nicole. And it shows. Nimi Nosh is not just sauce, it’s her mother’s ‘sunshine in a bottle’, a celebration of heritage and hustle and an open invitation to explore the bold, beautiful flavours of Caribbean cuisine in any kitchen.
With an online shop launching this autumn and an extended range on the horizon, Nicole Michael isn’t just launching a product—she’s leading a movement. “I’m proud to stand tall as a Caribbean woman bringing true Caribbean flavours to UK kitchens,” she says. “Big tings are coming, and we’re just getting started. Life is short - don’t miss the sunshine.”
