What is Pepper Mash?
Pepper mash is a mixture of ground or crushed chili peppers, combined with salt, that is fermented to develop deep, complex flavors. It includes the whole pepper, including seeds and skins, and serves as a key ingredient in many hot sauces, salsas, and other condiments. The fermentation process enhances the natural flavor and heat of the peppers, making pepper mash a versatile and flavorful base for food products that require bold, spicy profiles.
Step 1 : Making Mash
Fresh peppers are washed, de-stemmed and ground into a ‘mash’
The mash contains visible seeds and skins from the freshly ground + mashed peppers.
Step 2: Fermentation
Salt is added to the mash to begin the fermentation process.
This naturally acidifies the mash and lowers the PH to create a shelf stable product.
Step 3: Transport
Mash is transported to the US in our patented Flexi-Tank system.
Ranging from mild to super hot, our purees represent unique peppers from around the globe.
Step 4: As Ingredient
Pepper mash continues as a base ingredient for many applications.
Versatile ingredient for sauces, dressings, salsas, marinades, and more.
