Tasting Notes:
Deep red and silky smooth, this sauce opens with the unmistakable flavor of New Mexican red chile—roasted, earthy, and familiar. The initial warmth blooms into a subtle fermented depth that adds complexity without overpowering. A bright, vinegar-driven tang follows through with a clean finish. Heat builds on the mid-palate and the sides of the tongue but fades quickly, making this a versatile companion, not a showstopper.
Ingredients:
Fermented red chile mash (Hatch red chile, onion, garlic, water), water, distilled white vinegar.
Tasting Notes
This sauce opens like a classic New Mexican red chile—rich, earthy, and familiar. But then, a subtle sweetness flickers in the background… just before the fire begins. The heat builds in waves—first the forepalate, then the sides, then the back of the tongue—intensifying with each bite. The fermented depth and bright vinegar tang combine with the ghost pepper’s stealthy burn to create an addictive balance of flavor and fire. Just as the heat peaks, it fades, leaving behind a warm glow and a craving for more.

Tasting Notes
It begins innocently enough—a deep, fire-roasted green chile flavor hits the palate first, earthy and bold. Then comes the slow build. A creeping heat begins to rise, and suddenly it’s “oh no… oh yes”. The burn ramps up fast, but just before it crosses the line, it pulls back—settling into a steady, satisfying warmth. It’s not a stealthy burn—it makes its presence known—but it never overstays its welcome. Just enough to keep you reaching for more. Mysterious. Addictive. Unapologetically bold.
Ingredients
Fermented Chile Mash (green chile, onion, garlic, ghost pepper, water), additional green chile, water, distilled white vinegar.
