Our Ethos
Forward thinking tradition
Our passion drives our values, and we’re hell bent on ensuring they culminate in the flavours of our sauces.
You deserve the best flavours and attention to detail. You deserve a hot sauce that is aged to perfection. You deserve no artificial flavourings, thickeners or preservatives. You deserve a 5/5 rating.
You deserve…. Darkfire!
Vegan
All our sauces are made in a 100% vegan home kitchen.
Isn’t all hot sauce vegan? Some sauces may contain honey, fish sauce, etc. You won’t find any of this in Darkfire!
Ethically sourced
Where possible, we use British or European ingredients and seasonal produce in our sauces. This has lower environmental impact and enables us to select the finest and freshest produce available.
We actively seek links with UK chili growers to support small enterprise and this also gives us access to a wider range of pepper varieties than large importers.
We use these in many of our limited edition sauces.
Sustainable
We are a vegan business, and wish to promote environmental issues. Even small businesses have a duty to the planet, to reduce their carbon footprint and Darkfire is no different.
We sterilise and refill returned bottles from local customers – 50p off a new bottle for each one! We also reuse the packaging from goods in to protect the sauce we send out.
We send our sauces by Royal Mail for reliability, and Matt carries every delivery order to the local Post Office on foot, in all weathers!
Handmade
All of our hot sauces are handmade in batches of 50 or less. This may lead to small variations in heat level and appearance.
All sauces are pasteurised before bottling to ensure longevity. They are best consumed within one year of bottling and once open refrigerate and use in two months
The Darkfire ideology embraces the desire to stand out from the crowd, taking everyday ingredients and applying our unique set of skills to create something unparalleled.
