Black Cap Hot Sauce

100% natural ingredients, vegan, unpasteurized, unfiltered, and unapologetically delicious.

Black Cap Hot Sauce is an all natural, fermented hot sauce produced by Chef Jack Moore in Columbus, Ohio. The flavor is WILD (like the fermentation) and the heat is MILD. Fresno peppers, garlic, ginger, lime zest, salt, chia seeds, and water are the only ingredients in our sauce - nothing artificial, no preservatives - just dang good hot sauce. Oh yea, it's chock full of probiotics, too!

THE STORY

With the help of family and friends, Chef Jack’s hot sauce recipes were narrowed down to to two finalists. One was bottled with white caps, and one was bottled with black caps. As the taste tests began, we heard again and again that “black cap” was the favorite, and the name stuck! Black Cap Hot Sauce tips a (backwards flat bill) hat to the art of fermentation and preserving culture.

THE SECRET INGREDIENT

Fermentation is an art, and every batch of hot sauce is a little different. Some batches of Black Cap become a bit more "lively" than others, so KEEP REFREGERATED, even prior to opening. This will slow the fermentation down and reduce your chances of bubbles or an overflow. If this happens, your hot sauce is not "bad," it is just the wild fermentation kicking in.

When your hot sauce arrives, pop it in the fridge. The longer it stays unrefrigerated, the more your product will continue to naturally ferment.
