In this episode of Fire & Flavor, I sit down with Maki and Garth, the creators of Volcanic Ash Hot Sauce, a bold small-batch brand built around one seriously unforgettable sauce. After seven years of experimenting and refining, they landed on “The OG,” a deep, savory blend of caramelized garlic, onions, habaneros, and smoky heat that delivers something truly unique. 
We dive into their flavor philosophy, the story behind the brand name, and how they stay true to their craft with every small-batch release. Whether you're a hot sauce connoisseur or just discovering your heat tolerance, this episode captures what it means to truly obsess over flavor.
