Alchemy?
Alchemy is a practice that is thousands of years old. Combining aspects of science and philosophy, this practice sought to transform common materials into something greater. At Ancient Alchemy Hot Sauce Company we also seek to transform and transmute. By making use of local and indigenous ingredients, and applying millennia old cooking techniques such as live fire and smoking, we believe we have achieved gold. Try our flavor and heat balanced sauces with your favorite foods and transform your perception of what hot sauce can be.
About
Ancient Alchemy Hot Sauce Company is located in Jacksonville, Florida. It’s origins can be traced to around 2014 when Co-Owners Darryl Markle and Michael Maltese began to combine their joint loves of barbeque and hot peppers. Over the years the pair have experimented with a wide range of both local (Datil peppers, Vidalia onion) and sourced (Ghost peppers, Moruga Trinidad Scorpion peppers) ingredients in efforts to produce a unique take on hot sauce. They noted that fire charring and smoking “changed” (where the alchemy comes in) the sauces and in October of 2022, Ancient Alchemy Hot Sauce Company was officially created!
Mystic
Sauces
A bright, flavorful green sauce that brings the freshness. Complexity is achieved by fire roasting the serranos and jalapenos. This process adds a pleasing char and caramelization that tames the tangy, punchier elements of this flavor potion.
Druid
Charred Habanero and pineapple combine in a slightly sweet yet savory sauce with some serious heat. Garlic and onion bring in notes of umami while a subtle smokiness brings depth and body to this red elixir.
