Make Hosta Hill your go-to vegan chili sauce brand and support local, small, organic farming.
A vegan lifestyle is about more than avoiding animal products. If you’re on the lookout for a vegan chili sauce brand that is truly delicious and representative of your values, it may be time to give small-batch fermented hot sauce a try.
Hot sauce enthusiasts already know that fermented hot sauce offers a deeper, more complex and evolving flavor. Fermentation adds depth of flavor to the peppers, leading to a chili sauce with a more complex taste that continues to develop over time because its flavor is actually alive. Many of the big-name hot sauces, like Tobasco and Sriracha, are fermented.
But why go mainstream? You want to try a vegan chili sauce brand from the fermentation experts. Check out the Hosta Hill Shop and try one of our delicious offerings. Hosta Hill is committed to producing high-quality vegan hot sauce, packaged by hand and sold raw and unpasteurized.
Vegan condiments and real values
According to the animal welfare experts at Peta, most condiments don’t rely on animal-derived ingredients. They offer a comprehensive list of alternatives to condiments that rely on animal products and thus are potentially unkind. Regarding hot sauce, they say, “Many brands, including Cholula, Frank’s RedHot, Tabasco, Tapatío, and most Sriracha brands are vegan. However, always read the label for things like honey...”
You can scour the internet for best lists full of 5-star vegan condiments. But think about the big picture, and the incredible value of buying from a small business with locally sourced, organically grown ingredients and a network of farm partners. Hosta Hill is a family-owned, women-run business based in Western Massachusetts.
We are proud members of the local food community. As a part of our commitment to sustainable and equitable food systems, we source local and organic produce from passionate, independent farmers in New York and Massachusetts. Learn more about the organic farmers we work with here.
Lacto-fermentation keeps your chili sauce flavors alive
At Hosta Hill, 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 of the vegetables we work with. Our fermented vegetables are 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.
Our Original Hot Sauce is made simply, from ripened jalapeños, garlic and sea salt. Fermented to perfection, the result is a beautiful extra-spicy red sauce that goes great on anything you want to kick up a notch!
Or try our Smokey Hot Sauce! Also made with organic jalapeños and sea salt, the garlic in this delicious sauce is smoked, creating a smokey flavor with notes of green chilis.
Hosta Hill is your new vegan chili sauce brand. Visit us at our online store or at one of these locations throughout New England and New York, and bring your values to the table.
