Our Story

Tasty's Ferments was born over 20 years ago from a simple idea: Bring together Mexican-inspired flavor, wild fermentation and have zero boring meals. We ferment our chiles in brine, in hand made small batches, here in Barcelona — then bottle, leave them unpasteurized and let them be simply tasty.

The Tasty's Ferments squad — all five fermented hot sauce mascots: Poblano & Chill, Tempt Me Tomatillo, Mighty Morrita, Madame Jeanette and Mango Meltdown

Mexican inspired, Barcelona fermented

Every sauce starts with real chiles — poblano, tomatillo, morita, madame jeanette, Carolina Reaper — fermented until the flavor gets deep, tangy and a little bit wild. No shortcuts, no pasteurization, just time and salt doing their thing.

A hand from Maxi

Taylor Holyszko dreamed up the personalities. Maxi gave us a creative hand with the illustrations, and now they’re doing their own thing. Poblano’s found his chair. Good luck getting him out of it.

Thanks, Maxi.

There’s more to Maxi than our sauce bottles. Get to know him and his work.

Meet the squad

Five sauces, five moods: Poblano & Chill (the relaxed one), Tempt Me Tomatillo (the tangy one), Mighty Morrita (the smoky hero), Madame Jeanette (the funky one) and Mango Meltdown (the dangerous one).

Tasty's Ferments is made by Red Thread Food Group S.L. at L'Arc del Teatre 18, in Barcelona. Recipes, chili deep-dives and — yes — a comic are on the way.

Sneak me in, show me off, let's get tasty together!
