Our Story
Born and raised in Guadeloupe, a small island in the Caribbean, I fell in love with Asia 15 years ago and decided to settle here. Thailand’s rich culinary culture reminded me of home, though something was missing…this is how BC Spicy was born. Our aim is to offer unique and distinguished products for you to discover that will complement and enhance your culinary experience.

In 2000, a major innovation took place: the company became an LLC (SARL) and established a food-processing plant that met health standards, while also expanding its product line.
