Organic and Biodynamic Red Jalapeño Sauce

we are in the Modena area in Concordia sulla Secchia and it is here that in 1979 Felice and Iride Guerzoni took their first steps and embraced biodynamic agriculture right from the start. Years in which it was not well known and people were just starting to talk about it. So much so that to obtain the first certification they turned directly to the certifying body in Germany, obtaining Demeter certification in 1984.

Organic and Biodynamic

We can say with certainty that this is truly not only a pioneering reality but also a unique one on the Italian scene, being the only certified one. Today it is the son, Lorenzo Guerzoni, who has taken up the baton with the same philosophy and passion as his parents. Biodynamic methods are followed for growing the vines. We produce our balsamic vinegar exclusively from cooked must of organic and biodynamic grapes. We do not add caramel or preservatives.

Jalapeño peppers

This is an interesting and original condiment that combines the spiciness typical of jalapeño peppers with the fruity sweetness of the must and the acidity of wine vinegar. It is a perfect balance of spiciness, sweetness and acidity and very well suited to fusion dishes, grilled foods, or even cheeses. Compared to the green jalapeño version, this sauce has a sweeter, fruitier and slightly smokier taste. Less grassy than the green one, but with similar spiciness (medium, 2,500â8,000 SHU). To make our sauce we use only peppers selected from organic and biodynamic farming with Demeter certification. The peppers we use are mainly harvested from Camurein in the Reggio Emilia area, a farm located less than 60 km from our company. The pepper is harvested at the peak of its ripeness. Just when it takes on its typical bright red colour. Thanks to the addition of concentrated grape must, the flavour is very well balanced. The blend created between jalapeño, wine vinegar and cooked must results in a sauce with fruity notes. Red Jalapeños are a spicier variety compared to the green one. A product processed without the use of preservatives or thickeners, just consider that it keeps its consistency thanks to the pepper's own pulp. Each 100 ml bottle is fitted with a convenient screw cap with an internal dispenser. This allows for easy use without waste. The product has a shelf life of 2 years if stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator and consume it within one month. Made in Italy. We use only 100% Italian raw materials.
