Year Founded
Where did you initially create your product? What inspired it?
Working after hours at some of Cleveland‘s finest independent restaurants!
Six years ago my father and I had heart attacks a week apart! I survived and he didn’t, so I had to make some changes to my diet and lowering my sodium was one of them. So I started experimenting with fermentation and came up with this wonderful low sodium (1%) hot sauce!
