Fermented Thick Style Hot Sauce – Organic Specialty Peppers – Handcrafted Spice Blends – Antifascist & Probiotic –
Sauce Responsibly.
We believe that you deserve better out of your heat. Off Type sauces and spices begin with heirloom and specialty peppers organically grown on farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our freshly harvested peppers are seasonally lacto-fermented, naturally enhancing peak flavors and providing an added boost of probiotic goodness. All of our products are available online and can be shipped anywhere in Minnesota (contact us if outside MN). Additionally, select products can be found Surdyk’s Cheese Shop, Eastside Food Co-op, Northeast Winter Market, some Holiday Markets, and more locations TBA!
About Us
WHAT DOES "OFF TYPE" MEAN?
"Off type" refers to a seedling or plant that differs in one or more traits from the cultivar it was derived from. In the farming world, off-type plants may present ancestral traits from previous cultivars that are not considered desirable or expected by consumers, but may still be delicious and productive plants. We find this to be an opportunity for exploration.
The peppers that we use in our sauces are selected for their superb flavors, and we often save our own seeds. Some of the varieties are from seeds that have important origins and stories of sharing and preservation, and we find these stories invaluable to the product that we create.
WHO ARE WE?
OFFTYPE was started by Zachary Charles, but depends on a collective of farmers, chefs, and youth, working from the ground up to get healthy, build community and culture, and create local and regional autonomy.
