Two artisans, one shared fire

This meeting between Brareseau and Mc Poppies is no commercial coincidence. It's the story of two Belgian artisans who share the same obsession: making beautiful things, patiently, in small batches, close to home.

On one side, the fire. On the other, the heat. One forges the steel that welcomes your meals, the other distils the chilli that wakes them up. And in the middle, there's you, around your brasero, with three bottles that change everything.

Mc Poppies sauces are created by Benoit Wanufel in Mellet, from locally grown habanero chillies. No industrial additives. Just chilli, time, and an artisan's precision.

🔥 All 3 sauces sit in the same heat zone. L'Éclatante is slightly hotter, but all stay in habanero territory: powerful yet aromatic, unlike extreme chillies that are only after shock value.

Why these sauces are perfect with a brasero

Wood-fire cooking develops smoky, caramelised notes that Mc Poppies sauces enhance without ever masking them. The habanero brings the heat, while the local bases (honey, ginger, raisins) bring aromatic complexity.

Try La Gourmande on a seared rib-eye, L'Éclatante on grilled fish or chicken wings and La Flambante on everything: it's simple, it's Belgian, it's good.

The artisan behind the sauces
Benoit Wanufel
Founder of Mc Poppies in Mellet (Belgium). Since 2023, Benoit has been developing hot sauces from locally grown habanero chillies. His philosophy: no industrial additives, only the real thing, in small batches. An approach that resonates perfectly with Brareseau's.
Frequently asked questions
How hot are they?
All 3 sauces are habanero-based, with a similar intensity between 150,000 and 300,000 on the Scoville scale (for comparison: red Tabasco is 50,000 SHU, Espelette pepper 4,000 SHU). L'Éclatante is slightly hotter than the other two. La Gourmande stays balanced thanks to the honey and raisins that soften it. La Flambante offers a clean, direct heat. Use with discretion — these are real sauces for chilli lovers!
How long do they keep?
Unopened, Mc Poppies sauces keep for several months. Once opened, we recommend keeping them in the fridge and using them within 3-4 months to enjoy their full aromatic power.
Can I cook with them or only use them raw?
Both! Raw to preserve the intensity, or in short cooking (marinades, deglazing at the end of cooking) for rounder flavours. Avoid long cooking, which would tone down the chilli.
Do you deliver throughout Belgium?
Yes, standard delivery across Belgium. For an order combining sauces + brasero, delivery is free within the usual radius (up to 25 km from Marcinelle), with a surcharge beyond that.
Is there a discovery pack with all 3 sauces?
