We are back! Our first sauce of the year, taking the first harvests of Cornish-grown Rocoto chillies and lactofermenting them before blending them with fresh figs to make a brilliantly complex, vibrant, and importantly mild sauce. 

Well, we say "mild" and there is something to note. This vintage was warm. The summer in Cornwall was long, dry, and extremely hot. Temperatures in the farm's polytunnels saw temperatures in the 60s for a period. This stress translates to heat, meaning that the usually mild Rocoto chillies were ever so slightly warmer than we expected but still, for us, comfortably and definitively mild.

This is a sauce that can generously be poured over breakfast as much as it can be used to enhance a burger sauce. The bloom is big and the depth is handsome. 

We're remarkably happy with BATCH 030 and hope you enjoy it too.

Honour in heat.
