A podcast that explores the flavor behind the heat. Discover the best small‑batch hot sauces and meet their creators! 🔥🌶️
A legendary fermented lineup, an inside look at small-batch flavor building, and an exclusive taste of a secret, unreleased bottle sent straight to the studio.
In this episode of Fire & Flavor, we are sitting down with the creator behind Spanky’s Sauces (Covington, KY) to break down how they craft their exceptional, flavor-first fermented hot sauces. If you want to know what separates a slow-fermented masterpiece from a basic, vinegar-forward supermarket sauce, this interview is a complete masterclass.
We put their lineup to the test; Including the bright, citrusy warmth of Freya, the stealthy green heat of Jolene, and the complex, savory depth of Big Nick. Plus, we get a first look at NOVA—a highly anticipated test batch that hasn’t even hit the market yet.
🌶️ THE TASTING LINEUP:
🍊 Freya: Fermented Fresno chiles, Mandarin orange, garlic, ginger, green onion, and honey.
🟢 Jolene: A unique green profile blending tomatillo, jalapeño, lime, cilantro, and a kick of 7 Pot Primo.
🥥 Big Nick: A multi-pepper blend balanced with coconut milk, ginger, and turmeric.
🧪 Nova: The top-secret, unreleased test batch!
