What Does Lost Capital Mean?

The name Lost Capital comes from daring to chase your dreams. Leaving your job to follow your passion for spicy and fermented foods when you are over your head in student loans. Caring about the quality of the product more than the profit margin. Sourcing the freshest local produce instead of what is cheap and easy. Fermenting our sauces for weeks instead of making and cooking them the same day. Packing bottles with more peppers and less water and vinegar than our competitors.

These things would sound like a bad investment to most people, but to us, it sounds like a challenge. If you are willing to spend the extra dollar for a sauce that benefits you and the agricultural community it was made in, then it is time to invest in Lost Capital. 

MN Made

A purely Minnesota hot sauce is what we strive for. We collaborate with local Minnesota farms and businesses to use as much local produce as we can get our hands on. Better for you and the local economy.

Slowly Fermented

Lost Capital puts our all-natural ingredients through two processes, fermentation and blending, nothing more. * One of our sauces contains minimal caramelized onions and roasted garlic and our Gold Digger sauce is cooked to bring out caramel notes in the honey.
