About Us

Jack Moore

Co-Founder, Chef

Black Cap Hot Sauce is a 100% natural, living culture fermented hot sauce made by Jack and Nicki Moore in Columbus, Ohio.  The namesake stemmed from blind taste tests with family and friends to finalize the recipe. One unmarked test bottle had a black cap, and the other had a white cap. As taste tests began, “Black Cap” was the undisputed winner, and the product named itself!

Our ingredient list is clean: Fresno peppers, garlic, ginger, lime zest, salt, chia seeds, and water - that's it.  We preserve the live probiotic cultures in our sauce, as well as the big, bold, funky flavor that only a living culture ferment can deliver.

Find us in the cooler near the kimchi, kombucha, or natural foods section at your local Ohio retailer!

Why Black Cap?

Through your support, we amplify the health and wellness benefits of creating and consuming fermented foods.  “Preserving a culture” is our mission, and that goes beyond preserving the live probiotic, gut-friendly culture in our sauce.  It extends to our sustainability practices, like sourcing local produce whenever possible, composting all food waste, and using recyclable glass bottles and metal caps.  Our living culture, small batch ferments reflect our local agricultural system, supporting local farmers and sharing our collective food journey with you.

We wanted to make hot sauce that is not only delicious, but good FOR us, too.  Our 100% natural ingredients are fermented in ridiculously small batches, bottled by hand, and delivered or snagged at a retailer near you.

My guy and I have decided that Black Cap is literally the best hot sauce we've ever had!  We love yours because it has such a great flavor without being too heat-forward!

Literally the best in the biz! This coming from a hot sauce connoisseur. A shelf in my refrigerator literally broke because of the weight of all the sauces. True story!
