Black Cap Hot Sauce

Black Cap Hot Sauce Black Cap Hot Sauce is a 100% natural fermented hot sauce based in Columbus, Ohio. One was bottled with white caps, and one was bottled with black caps.

With the help of family and friends, we narrowed Chef Jack’s hot sauce recipes to two finalists. As the taste tests began, we heard again and again that “black cap” was the favorite, and the name just stuck! Black Cap Hot Sauce tips a (backwards flat bill) hat to the art of fermentation and preserving culture.

100% natural ingredients, vegan, unpasteurized, unfiltered, and unapologetically delicious.

Market dogs are the best, but we love seeing our market partners promoting safety and fun for ALL even more!!

Thank you Worthington Farmers Market for sharing!

Here at the Worthington Farmers Market, we are pet people! But in the dog days of summer, the market is not a great place for our canine companions. Heat and crowded conditions make the market a stressful and potentially unhealthy place for dogs and other animal companions. Please consider leaving your pets at home as the temperatures heat up!

Anyone else repurpose their used Black Cap bottles for a little whimsy? ✨✨

Sometimes we use the 8 ounce bottles to propagate new plants, shake the leftover sauce into new salad dressings, or just display some fresh cut flowers.

However you repurpose yours, we always love seeing our recyclable bottles take on a second life 🌿🌻

Exciting news to round out the week- Jalapeño Ramp has officially started landing with our independent restaurant + retail partners 🌱

The first wave is hitting shelves now, with more deliveries rolling out across Ohio throughout the next week before the wider regional grocery launch begins.

Huge love to the shops and kitchens that jump on these seasonal releases year after year — getting these first batches out locally always means a lot to us.

And for a select few… the first-ever Black Cap Honey deliveries are tagging along too 🍯👀

Stay tuned to stories + highlights over the next week for more drops, restocks, and where to find it.

In case you’ve ever wondered what “small batch” actually looks like…

After being sorted, washed, and cut, these Fresnos are in it for the long haul — a month-long nap in saltwater brine to develop all the savory goodness you know and love in the final product.

And yeah… it’s a little spicy in here 😅🌶️

So close, you can almost taste it….

Jalapeño Ramp officially starts rolling out this weekend — first at events, then online orders begin shipping next week, with retail drops to follow throughout the coming weeks.

We set aside a small online allotment ahead of launch weekend, but events will be the very first place to snag bottles in person.

Fresh jalapeños. Wild Appalachian ramps. Funky garlic heat and peak spring flavor packed into one yearly batch.

We make it once a year so you can hold onto ramp season just a little longer.
