The science behind our sauce is the wonderful process of fermentation. Living naturally on the peppers are a variety of wild strains of lactic acid producing bacteria (l. Lactis). Our process involves creating ideal conditions for these particular desired bacteria to thrive while inhibiting other types of bacteria from surviving. This allows the lactic acid producing bacteria to eat the natural sugars in the peppers and create lactic acid in the process.Lactic acid has a delicious tangy flavor that is not as sharp and acidic as vinegar, and the fermentation process itself helps to blend flavors in a way that cannot otherwise be achieved.

It is the last or second-to-last ingredient in all our sauces.

We are still using small amounts of apple cider vinegar in our sauces. We do this to ensure that fermentation could not continue if the bottles were re-introduced to lactic acid bacteria after pasteurization. The vinegar prevents that from happening by lowering the pH to levels below what l. Lactis can tolerate, so you won't end up with exploding hot sauce bottles. 

However, the amount of vinegar in our bottles is a fraction compared to just about any other hot sauce, fermented or not, on store shelves and farmers markets. Check to see where the vinegar is on the bottle. If it is at the top, that sauce is mostly vinegar.

You do not have to refrigerate after opening. Just store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the rest is preference. If you prefer your hot sauce at room temperature or cold.
