Small Axe Pepper’s Hot Sauces are made with peppers purchased at a premium price directly from community gardens and urban farms across America. The Oakland Hot Sauce is no different. Made from peppers sourced from Northern California community gardens, this flavor - the last ever formulated by our late, great Chef King Phojanakong - is a tribute to one of California’s most famous ingredients... Raisins, plus apple cider vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika, combine to give the sauce an almost sweet, smokey, chutney flavor, and consistency.
