Learn how to use our pepper purees, and elevate every dish.

It all starts with growing peppers purposefully.

Through our long term relationships with our suppliers and a network of local, small-tract farming families in South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean we source specific pepper varieties to our exacting specifications and quality standards.

We can track a pepper from seed to table, including where it was picked, by whom, and how long it rested in its home country before shipping, packaging, and delivery.

peppper mash from field to kitchen

STEP 1: Wash and de-stem the peppers (the stem is the only part we don’t use).

STEP 2: Process peppers through our local hammer mill to create pepper mash. Pepper mash is simply ground peppers with visible skins and seeds.

STEP 3: Add salt to the pepper mash as a preservative while natural fermentation occurs. This also makes our products shelf stable.

STEP 4: Load pepper mash into our patented Agi-Tank and transport to the Port of New Orleans.

STEP 5: Unload pepper mash and store in our SQF-certified facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.
