Banana on Fire (Fermented Hot Sauce)

Heat with soul. Layered hot sauce made from fermented banana and chillies using Japanese fermentation. Complex flavour first, heat second. Guaranteed to impress.

Banana on Fire is a fermented hot sauce made from fermented banana and chillies, crafted using Japanese fermentation techniques. Unlike typical hot sauces that hit you with acid and heat immediately, Banana on Fire builds layered flavour through slow fermentation — creating complexity, depth, and balance before the heat arrives.

How to Use Banana on Fire (Clear, Specific Use Cases)

Grilled & Fried Foods

• Grilled Meats: Brush on chicken, fish, or steak before grilling. The layered heat complements charred, smoky flavours perfectly.

• Grilled Vegetables: Drizzle over grilled peppers, eggplant, or zucchini for a flavourful kick with depth.

Marinades & Glazes
