Goccie Xtra – Sicilian fermented chilli sauce

A spicy Louisiana style sauce, made in Sicily

We love spicy food, we love fermented food. We had to do something that satisfies our passion, so we simply created a fermented pepper sauce. We use a mix of many varieties of chilies (Cayenna, Habanero, Naga Moric, Carolina Reaper) we grow and let this mixture spontaneusly ferment with Sicilian Sea Salt from Trapani (it’s a Slow Food Presìdia).

After the lactic fermentation ends we obtain our sauce: the sauce won’t be as hot as the pepper mixture, but all the aroma of the different peppers will be in there. We use it on raw fish, oysters, raw meat, legumes, even on desserts and it’s special for a touch in cocktails.

It’s the only fermented pepper sauce made in Europe.

Our fermentated chilli sauce is inspired by the spicy sauces of louisiana. The chilli peppers fermently spontaneous for 3 months, then to be added with vinegar and separated from the solid part.
The result is a brilliant and intense red sauce, where the chilli fruity, the lactic notes of the fermentation and the light acidity of vinegar contributes to create a single season that can accompany any nature plates.
