Scotch Bonnet Fermented Chilli Mash | 1kg | Gusa | Only The Best

From Seed to Sauce – Only the Best Using our unique end-to-end supply chain, we don’t just source ingredients—we grow them. Every Scotch Bonnet used in our chilli mash starts from our carefully selected seeds, cultivated on our own farms under strict sustainable practices. We oversee the entire journey, from planting to harvest, ensuring only the ripest, most flavourful chillies make it into our mash. Once harvested, our chillies are expertly mashed and naturally lacto-fermented to enhance their depth of flavour. The process creates a rich, tangy, and umami-packed chilli paste. Finally, we pasteurise the mash to maintain its bold taste while making it shelf-stable—without the need for artificial preservatives. This seed-to-sauce control means we guarantee the highest quality at every stage. What Makes Our Scotch Bonnet Chilli Mash Unique? ✅ Seed to Sauce Control – We oversee every step, from growing to processing. ✅ Pure & Simple – Only two ingredients: Scotch Bonnet chillies & salt. ✅ Fermented for Depth – Lacto-fermentation enhances flavour complexity. ✅ Pasteurised for Freshness – No vinegar, no preservatives, just pure heat. ✅ Sustainable & Ethical – Grown responsibly with eco-friendly farming.

A Decade of Fermentation Expertise For over 10 years, we have specialised in lacto-fermentation, a technique that has preserved and enhanced flavours for centuries. This natural process breaks down sugars in the chillies, creating an intense umami taste and balanced acidity—without the need for artificial preservatives. From traditional fermented foods like Korean kimchi to European sauerkraut, this method has stood the test of time. Now, we apply it to our 100% Rwandan-grown Scotch Bonnets, ensuring every batch of Gusa Chilli Mash is bursting with complexity and character.
