At these prices, our specialty organic hot sauces aren't for everyone and we couldn't dare to compete with lower priced brands.
Our sauces are made from 100% fresh picked, organic peppers that we cultivate year-round on one of our South Florida Micro Farm or Gardens.
For every gallon of ferment made, 3200 to 3700 grams of produce is used before any brine is added. For our blends 55% to 80% is specialty hot peppers. For our new "Pure Pepper Line" 100% is specialty hot peppers. That is up to 8.25 pounds of peppers for every gallon of ferment made. (Pepper cost, Habaneros $7.99/lbs to Chocolate Bhutlahs $70/lbs.) The average per pound cost of our ferments pepper content is +/- $28/lbs which brings the cost of every ferment made to $125 - $250, and we bottle 10 to 14 sellable bottles for ever ferment made.
Now you can do the math.
