Los Zapotecos: Verde Hot Sauce

Los Zapotecos is a vibrant, live-fermented verde sauce that pays homage to the rich culinary traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico and the heirloom Zapotec Jalapeños we love.

First, we stone-grind oven-roasted pepitas to create an earthy, nutty base. Then, we ferment a verdant mash of green jalapeños, tomatillos, garlic, and onion. Next, masa and chia are added for smooth texture and notes of tortilla. Finally, we add stunning citrusy notes and a subtle herbal depth with our handcrafted vinegar tincture.

This mole-inspired verde is unpasteurized, probiotic-rich, and entirely plant-based. Its mild-to-medium heat and complex flavor perfectly accompanies grilled vegetables, tacos, quesadillas, or any dish needing a bright herbal kick.

Suggested Use:

Stir it into some crema for punchy unforgettable elotes! 
Wake up a sleepy gazpacho with a little dash! Zhuzh up that disappointing tuna salad!
