By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Belize’s own Marie Sharp, the woman behind one of the world’s most beloved hot sauces, is once again making history after being named to the Forbes 50 Over 50 Global list.
Sharp, now 85, is being honored for transforming a small garden experiment into a global brand that carries the flavor of Belize to kitchens around the world.
From growing habanero peppers to testing recipes on family members while working full-time, Sharp’s determination paid off when her sauces gained international demand in the 1980s. After overcoming business challenges, she re-emerged stronger with Marie Sharp’s Fine Foods, now a household name for spice lovers.
Forbes notes that the initiative celebrates women who reach their peak after 50, proving that age is not a barrier to success. Sharp’s recognition marks a major milestone for Belizean entrepreneurship and women in business.
Her story continues to inspire generations, showing that passion, persistence, and Belizean flavor can compete on the world stage.
