Description
Fermented Mexican hot sauces — chillies lacto-fermented in salt water for 5–14 days before blending — represent a different flavour category from fresh or cooked salsas. The lactic acid fermentation (identical in mechanism to kimchi, sauerkraut, and other lacto-fermented vegetables) transforms the chilli's raw sharpness into a rounder, more complex, slightly sour depth. The fermented salsa's flavour improves and mellows over weeks of refrigerated storage.
