Welcome to our blog!

Here, we share everything behind our crafted hot sauces—from the bold ingredients and fermentation process to the stories that shape each fiery flavour. We're also diving into our journey of growing peppers on our own allotment, documenting everything from planting to harvest, so you can follow the pepper-growing process that powers our sauces. Whether you're a spice lover, home cook, or gardening enthusiast, join us as we explore the world of heat and flavour, one sauce and season at a time.
