Fermentation is the powerhouse behind the signature tangy, bold flavor of Black Cap. We take pride in using 100% natural ingredients that undergo a month-long fermentation process. During this time, beneficial probiotic bacteria thrive, giving you more than just a flavor punch. Your favorite hot sauce isn’t just a condiment; it’s a gut-friendly addition to your meals— all thanks to the magic of fermentation.

We keep the living probiotic cultures active in our sauce, so it belongs in the fridge, not the cabinet. Temperature is key: higher heat boosts activity, while cooler temps slow it down. If your hot sauce spends a night out or arrives warm from an online order—DON’T PANIC. It’s still good! Just toss it back in the fridge to cool down.  Pressure build-up in the bottle is natural, expected, and increases the longer it’s left out of the fridge. You might hear a chef’s hiss or see some bubbles when you open it; that’s just your ferment doing its thing.

Good news - Black Cap is 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free, probiotic, unpasteurized, unfiltered, and unapologetically delicious.

Black Cap is the natural (and way cooler) replacement for your “everyday user” hot sauce. Fresno peppers are the only source of heat, so Black Cap is perfect for your cheesy eggs, pizza, buffalo chicken dip, taco topper, and everything in-between.
