Bringing Families Together One Bottle at a Time
5Fludds Sauce, where we help bring the modern family back to the Sunday dinner table with this exceptional sauce. Born in 1983 by the hands of an intelligent, southern-born father, 5Fludds Sauce is synonymous with family, tradition, and love. Overcoming challenges in the rough ghettos of Cleveland, our patriarch, the creator of this flavorsome sauce demonstrated leadership and unity within his family circle, eventually moving us to a middle- class neighborhood for his children’s education.
For decades, the sacred recipe was enjoyed amongst the family relatives, friends, and church
members with its rich flavor. Despite dreams of opening a family restaurant, we spent this time
perfecting the sauce.
After our patriarch's passing in 2016, the remaining Fludd family members decided to honor his legacy by bottling and sharing the sauce with the world. All the while paying tribute to our roots and continuing to support causes that embody our patriarch’s values: education opportunities for underserved young black men and women and strengthening black families and all families at a grassroots level.
Though our patriarch is no longer physically with us, his spirit lives on as Fludd #1, with our mother, Jacquelyn (Jackie) as Fludd #2, their daughter Nevette as Fludd #3, their son Jake Fludd III as Fludd #4, and their granddaughter Jailynn completing the 5Fludds family as Fludd #5.
Together, we invite you to experience the essence of our culture, family traditions, and togetherness by enjoying this sauce. We are all about family and we want you to join our family today because this is “More than a sauce, IT‘S A CONNECTION!“
