Hamilton Hots Aged Pepper Sauce is created through a process of fermentation. Specifically known as lacto-fermentation. This is what sets this pepper sauce apart from others on the market. Fermenting pepper sauce requires more time, effort and care and this is exactly why our pepper sauce tastes as amazing as it does.

The term fermentation might not sound so familiar and appealing, but you are already well acquainted with lots of foods and beverages that are created through fermentation. Some examples are pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kefir, apple cider vinegar and let’s not forget about beer.

Fermentation is one of the oldest methods of food processing. Lacto-fermentation uses naturally occurring lactic-acid producing bacteria to preserve foods. Our pepper sauce ingredients are submerged in a salt brine and placed in a sealed container where lacto-bacteria break down sugars and produce lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This process promotes the growth of good bacteria and prevents the growth of other microorganisms.

Fermentation not only gives incredible flavor to foods but there are also many health benefits as well. Fermented pepper sauce, like yogurt and kombucha, is full of naturally occurring probiotic bacteria. Lacto-fermented foods have shown to improve gut health, increase the health of your digestive system as well as enhance your immune system. In addition to the probiotic factor pepper sauce has capsaicin which has anti-inflammatory benefits, is full of antioxidants which can help lower blood pressure as well as increasing your metabolic rate.
