Blesys Sherp, BATCH 002

The Bahamian Goat pepper was a chilli that, from the very first taste, we knew would become a Blesys Sherp hot sauce. It's an unbelievably charismatic pepper that scores through notes of pineapple, mango, and a whole range of tropical fruits, coupled with a bright and brilliant heat. 

For our first foray with this chilli, we wanted to keep it simple, working with our classic Blesys Sherp method and fermenting for two weeks before blitzing with a complementary fruit. In this case, that fruit was mango. However, don't believe that this is where the entire fruitiness of this sauce comes from because we added a relatively small amount and primarily to soften the sauce while also giving it an improved texture, never wanting to take the Bahamian Goats, with their sunshine vibrance, out of the spotlight.

The final product is one that will absolutely steal the show of any dish and should be used accordingly, especially to spruce up an otherwise modest meal. 

The only downside of BATCH 002 is that it is relatively small. The chillies were grown in Cornwall by the brilliant Cornish Chillies farm and specifically for us after an initial experimentation. We committed to a small number, unsure they would produce what we needed. Now that they've proven to enjoy the Cornish climate, and that they will make a great-tasting hot sauce, we're committing to them - expect another Bahamian Goat hot sauce in 2025.

Blesys Sherp, BATCH 002.1 & 002.2

This was a great year for growing Bahamian Goat peppers in Cornwall and after the initial harvest, the chilli plants kept fruiting. As such, we were able to produce two extra batches, becoming hot sauces 002.1 and 002.2, produced with chillies from these later harvests.

The difference between these two were in the fermentation, with 002.2 having an interrupted fermentation to ensure that the batch kept its essential fruity integrity. Both have an amazing bloom of flavour that revels in notes of tropical fruits, being identical to the original 002 hot sauce in its brilliance.

Honour in heat.
