Ox-King Extra Hot Fermented Kimchi Sauce – 9 oz

Homero Gonzalez founded Harmacy Hot Sauce Co. in Cookeville, Tennessee, on Christmas Day 2020. Inspired by his Cuban upbringing and his grandmother's cooking, he began making sauces to share with friends while studying electrical engineering. Their encouragement helped turn the hobby into a business centered on distinctive flavors and balanced heat. The company makes its sauces in-house in small batches and emphasizes care in preparation, creative recipes and the pleasure of sharing good food.

Ox-King Extra Hot Fermented Kimchi Sauce – 9 oz

Ox-King takes the fermented vegetable and miso direction of Chi-Chee into the extra hot range. The producer rates it at 9/10 and names Ghost, Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion peppers in its superhot blend. The sauce combines tangy fermentation, savory depth and intense pepper heat in a 9 oz jar.

The finished sauces are manufactured in Cookeville, Tennessee, United States. Harmacy's in-house production is described by the maker and its Pick Tennessee producer listing. This identifies where the sauce is made; the growing countries of individual peppers, fruit and spices have not been established.

Flavor and serving ideas

Add a small measured portion to an individual bowl of ramen or fried rice before using it across the whole meal. The fermented vegetables and miso bring savory flavor alongside the heat. Keep serving utensils clean and separate from milder sauces when sharing a tasting with other people.

• Try with ramen and rice bowls.
• Try with Korean-style stir-fries.
• Try with eggs and spicy pizza.

Product specifications

This listing is for the named 9 oz sauce, rather than a mixed assortment. Use the quantity and the specific flavor selection when comparing a single jar with a variety pack.

Storage and handling

The maker's FAQ gives an unopened shelf life of two years and instructs customers to refrigerate after opening and use within two months. Follow the best-by date on the jar; the amount of unopened storage time remaining depends on the production batch. Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place.

Use a clean spoon when portioning the sauce, wipe the rim as needed and close the lid after serving. For a gift set or tasting, keep track of when each jar was opened so the storage directions remain easy to follow.
