About the maker
Fermented and fruit-forward hot sauces handcrafted in small batches in Oceanside, California.
Paulman Acre’s sauces are full of character: Grilled Nopales, Fermented Garlic, Electric Pumpkin, Smoke a Peach and Don’t Pear the Reaper, plus Calexico and Mexicali sauces named for the border towns. Tim Paulman also co-founded California Hot Sauce Solutions, and his collaborations with J’s Small Batch are in the shop too. Half the range is mild.
What mild actually means
Under 2,500 SHU on the SCOVILLED scale. Flavor comes first here, and the finish is gentle enough for anyone at the table.
