About Cocinita El Rey
Cocinita El Rey grew out of one person’s lust for ripe chiles in the cold winter months. I’d been making sauerkraut that served as a fresh vegetable for weeknight dinners for years―raw, crunchy and delicious. Why not try chiles? Using only salt, chiles, and an abundance of patience, Cocinita El Rey was born. Start me up.
Our sauces are the result of spontaneous fermentation with no added starter cultures. By creating an environment that nurtures friendly bacteria (coarsely chopped chiles, just enough salt), we can step aside and let nature take over.

Our Chiles
Our chiles are grown by Deep Roots Farm in the beautiful Willamette Valley. The soil in the heart of the valley is among the world’s finest, and with the skill and care of the bitchin’ Deep Roots farmers, produces sublime chiles; sweet, hot and in beautiful colors.
