The saucery takes place in a two-stage process. First, we make koji by introducing a specialised fungus to rice (koji is ancient fermented food that forms the basis of miso and soy sauce). We then add the koji to a brine containing chipotle chillies, onions, and garlic, where it undergoes a lacto-fermentation (the process that creates ferments like sauerkraut and kimchee). The result is a versatile sauce with rich, umami flavours. We use it in and on everything from eggs, sandwiches, tacos, soups, pasta sauces, stocks, and as a base for a devastating chipotle mayonnaise.
Sheldrake & Sheldrake Fermented Hot Sauce arose when Merlin and Cosmo Sheldrake met Jonathan Hope, a koji wizard and director of @KulturedLondon, a company specialising in making miso from local ingredients. The sauce combines the Sheldrake brothers’ trusted formula with Jonathan’s koji.
We hope you enjoy!
