Frequently Asked Questions
How spicy is Roco Hot Sauce?
Our hot sauce has a medium to high level of spiciness. It offers a kick of heat without overwhelming the palate. When you try it, expect a sweetness on the pallet in the beginning, then umami funkiness from the fermentation, then a little spice hitting at the end.
How is Roco Hot Sauce made?
Our Rocoto Hot Sauce is made with Aji Rocoto Chili Peppers grown in Ecuador -- we get them straight from the farm. The next ingredient, plantain vinegar, uses plantains also grown in Ecuador, which get super ripe and are then mixed with acetic acid: the mother to make vinegar. That acetic acid bacteria then breaks down the sugars in the plantain, producing vinegar. That is then mixed with fermented rocoto mash: fresh rocoto chilis, blended, mixed with Ecuadorian sea salt. There are no additives, no preservatives.
Is this hot sauce gluten-free and vegan?
Yes, our hot sauce is both gluten-free and vegan.
