From our fields to your taste buds
We're proud to support small-scale farmers in the Pacific Northwest by sourcing our peppers locally.
When you choose Hot Winter Hot Sauce, you're supporting local farms too.
Did you know we have a proprietary pepper variety?
Our founder, Shaun Winter (above), developed our own unique cultivar of chile while working at a farm on the Klamath River. The Hot Winter Pepper is not a hybrid, but a distinct cultivar that was perfected over 5 years of natural transformation. Read more.
The Hot Winter Pepper creates unique flavor profiles that you won't find anywhere else. We use traditional fermentation techniques to unlock the full flavor and nutritional potential of our ingredients, resulting in hot sauces that are not only spicy but also rich and complex.
