STRAWBERRY BASIL BOMB! 🍓🍓 Inspired by Caribbean hot sauces, Roger used fresh @freshbcfruit strawberries for fruitiness, Genovese basil for a clove like spice & aromatic herbs from @myprairiegardens to round it all out. We love it in a crudo or with oysters, tacos, grilled poultry, hot wings, spicy vinaigrettes and tomato dishes. @biera_yeg added some to a strawberry sorbet and @aboveaveragedrinks made a spicy margarita (be sure to check out their page for the recipe!). Find our hot sauces at: @biera_yeg (Biera Market Store) @modestmeats @colordevino_yeg @acmemeatmarket @ribeyebutcher @meatheadinc @meuwlys @thebutchery_yeg For wholesale inquiries or questions DM us here, or email at [email protected]. . . . 📸 @mike.lundy . . #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegfermentation #strawberry #hotsauce #bcfruit #fermentation

Cheesy Wheezy has become one of our best selling hot sauces! What makes our hot sauce unique? This syle of hot sauce combines fermentation & a technique used for making fondue. The origin of this technique allows milk fat & protein to create a smooth emulsion and carries the colorful pigments found in habanero and peppers. The acidity comes primarily from the natural lactic fermentation, similar to the acidity found in cheese! For Cheesy Wheezy, we co-fermented hot house peppers from southern Alberta with Vital Greens Organic Dairy & blended it with slow fermented habaneros. A true lacto-lactic hot sauce! Visit to find out where you can buy a bottle! . . . #yegfood #albertafood #canadianhotsauce #cheese #fondue #fermentation #lactofermentation #yycfood

Kimchi for @reclaimfarm 🥬🌶️ Kimchi is a classic lacto ferment, but differs from sauerkraut due to variations in ingredients, processing & fermentation temperatures. 
In red kimchi (Baechu kimchi), the added gochugaru, garlic, ginger, and alliums introduce different sugars, enzymes & microbes that shift how the fermentation unfolds.
Kimchi’s altered mix of microbes leads to different acid levels, aromas and cultures. It’s interesting how small changes in the environment can alter the microbial community and create such distinct final products. Happy fermenting! . . Find this Kimchi via @reclaimfarm . . #yegfermentation #yegfood #yegsmallbusiness #yegfarmersmarkets
