Fermented Small Batch Hot Sauce
Did you know that many of the big-name hot sauces, like Tobasco and Sriracha, are fermented?
The experts know that fermentation adds depth of flavor to the peppers, leading to a hot sauce with a more complex taste that continues to develop over time. Our small batch hot sauce has an evolving flavor that is actually alive.
The unique and creative flavors in our cultured vegetables develop slowly through wild fermentation, a natural preservation process that enhances the nutrient availability and living cultures in our products. Our small batch hot sauce is made the traditional way: no vinegar, just vegetables, sea salt, and time!
Lacto-fermentation is a slow and continually giving process. Your hot sauce flavor continues to evolve, becoming subtler, more complex and sometimes taking on an interesting new tanginess.
