Blesys Sherp, BATCH 010

We've been immensely excited to try this chilli, having heard about its brilliant citrus character, and were then understandably elated when the Cornish Chilli farm kindly agreed to have a go at growing it. 

With a fantastic growing year behind it (the great 2025 vintage of English chillies!), the fruits were all that we could have imagined; fresh, bright, and saturated in a sweet lemon zing. 

We decided to vacuum ferment these chillies with the intention of keeping them 'uncompromised', so to speak. When compared with lacto-fermentation, we occasionally find that vacuum fermentation benefits tropical and bright fruit tastes. And, while we haven't yet made a lacto-fermentated BATCH to compare them too, the result of our first foray was prime for a Blesys Sherp hot sauce.

Paired with nectarine, this bottle is delightfully acidic and exceptionally fruity, delivering an addictive heat to the palate. Perfect for tacos!

Honour in heat.
