Meet Angelo Occhicone

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Angelo Occhicone. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Angelo below.

Angelo, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
When conceptualizing Hells Onions, my primary motivation was to explore new culinary horizons. As a gastronome, I enjoy experimenting with novel ingredients and techniques, constantly pushing my creativity to new heights. I derive immense satisfaction from observing the reactions of those who sample my latest creations and from the feedback they offer.

I am a firm believer in the importance of progress and innovation. As such, I am committed to ensuring that my culinary repertoire remains dynamic and up-to-date. I am acutely aware that my customers have high expectations of my product. I strive to meet and exceed those expectations by continuously refining my recipes and introducing new ones.

My underlying philosophy is that of constant growth and evolution. My work as a culinary artist is a never-ending journey of discovery and refinement, fueled by my passion for creating delicious and unique flavors that leave a lasting impression on those who taste them.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I have always been passionate about cooking and set out to create a distinctive hot sauce that would stand out from the rest. I firmly believe that my hot sauce is exceptional, thanks to its versatility, which allows it to be used in a variety of recipes, whether hot or cold, as an ingredient, or as a condiment straight from the jar. Its adaptable nature makes it a valuable addition to any recipe.

In recent times, I have been exploring new avenues to expand my product line by creating “Hells Spices,” a dry spice blend derived from Hell’s Onions. In addition, I have introduced “Hells Pickles,” which are pickles infused with spicy flavors. These new product offerings have been met with great enthusiasm and have helped to expand my customer base.

To learn more about my products or to place an order online, please visit www.HellsOnions.com. I am also available to attend events and showcase my products in person. Thank you for considering my products, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with an exceptional culinary experience.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Upon reflection of my journey, it has been characterized by numerous late nights and comprehensive testing. However, my unrelenting persistence, tenacious faith in both myself and my product, and most importantly, the unwavering support of my family have been the driving forces behind my pursuit of excellence. For those embarking on a similar journey, I recommend holding onto your self-belief, refusing to accept negative responses, and never giving up on your goals.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
Over the previous twelve months, our website, WWW.HellsOnions.com, has remained operational, and we have established The Valley Collective, our collaborative storefront, located at the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights, NY. In addition, we have actively participated in numerous local farmers’ markets and seasonal events, which provide us with a platform to promote and showcase our unique products. In addition, our physical storefront, The Valley Collective, provides us with an opportunity to engage with our customers on a personal level and showcase our products in a tangible manner.
We are proud to have established ourselves as a prominent player in the local market, and we will continue to strive to provide our customers with the highest quality products and services. Our participation in local farmers’ markets and seasonal events has been instrumental in promoting our brand, and we intend to continue to leverage this platform to reach out to a wider audience.
We recognize that our customers are at the core of our business, and we remain committed to providing them with the best possible experience, both online and offline. With this goal in mind, we will continue to invest in our online and offline platforms to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the industry.
