FAQ

 

What’s shipping like?

We currently ship to any heat freak within the continental US. Bear in mind, our product is alive and express shipping is always our best option. We fulfill shipments on Mondays and Tuesdays to ensure your package doesn’t sit anywhere for too long.

 

What do I do with these?

Eat it, gift it, use it as aroma-therapy! As long as you keep investing, we’re square! It sounds cliché but it’s really good on everything. We know choosing the right use for these glorious sauces is important so we’ve collected some of our favorites on our recipes page!

Refrigeration?

If properly loved and cared for, your sauce will remain at utmost quality for at least 6 months from the bottled on date. Left it out overnight? Don’t fret, fermentation is forgiving but please use care when opening as pressure could have built up. If you’ve pushed the limits and you see mold forming, it’s time to restock. Our mustard, honey and High & Dry dried pepper mashes are shelf stable.

What is Lacto-fermentation?

We put our fresh ingredients in a salt + water mixture called a “brine” to ferment for anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. During this time certain (bad) bacteria die out in the high salt content, leaving only the good (lactobacillus) bacteria to thrive. These bacteria have been known to help aid digestion and support a healthy gut.

At the moment we are stocked at stores and many breweries throughout the Midwest, see our locations on our Find Us page. We also love a good farmers market. If you’re too busy buying an island to come in… you should rethink your priorities and shop online today! Or have your butler do it.

Are your sauces gluten free?

Of course! We take quality seriously and avoid fillers at any cost. Our sauces get their consistency from blending whole fermented peppers. 

Are your sauces vegan?

Absolutely 100%. Our sauces are perfectly delicious without the use of any animal products. Note: Some sauces contain honey.
