On this episode of Fire & Flavor, we go straight to the source! Ever wonder where the intense, smoky heat in your favorite craft hot sauce REALLY comes from? We visit Roots in Reverie in Lee, NH, the secret weapon behind Cousin Dean's Hot Sauce, to uncover the incredible journey of the Chocolate Habanero pepper.
Join us as we talk with farmers Josh and Miranda and Cousin Dean's founders, Dean and Alex, about the challenges of growing specialty peppers in New Hampshire, how a community-focused partnership creates sauces with unbelievable flavor, and the true meaning of "seed-to-bottle."
This video features a deep dive into local agriculture, small business collaboration, and the craft of making gourmet hot sauce and other pepper products. Learn about pepper farming, sustainable agriculture in New England, and the value of supporting local food makers in NH and beyond.
