The write-up

Red fresno built for pace, not punishment. Bright, a little smoky, vinegar kept on a short leash so the pepper stays in front. This is the bottle that ends up on the table and never makes it back to the shelf.

What the maker wrote on the jar

  • Ripe red fresno
  • Clean vinegar snap
  • Low, easy background heat

    Grown out, not picked green — that is where the sweetness is.

The kitchen’s pairings

  • Breakfast eggsOver-easy, on the yolk, before the toast.
  • Smash burgersInstead of ketchup. Do not argue.
  • Roast potatoesTossed while still hot from the pan.
This is the mildest one we bottle.
