Pepper Fermentation Jar

Here's a look at one of our small-batch ferments bubbling away — a spicy foundation for our bold sauces!

At Butchart’s Burners, we believe in time-honored fermentation. Each batch of hot sauce starts with home grown heirloom peppers that are naturally fermented for 2 weeks up to one year in glass fermenters under airlocks to develop deep umami and tangy flavor. Salt, time, and care—no shortcuts.
