Crafted in Utah: Stories of quality, expertise, and dedication.
Last summer, we began delivering farm boxes to areas around Salt Lake City. Along with bringing fresh, organic produce and natural groceries to our newest members, we've also partnered with some amazing local producers and artisans. We're thrilled to introduce you to a few of them in our new blog series, "Crafted in Utah: Stories of quality, expertise, and dedication."
High Mesa Chile Co.
For Brock Giles, founder of High Mesa Chile Co., the kitchen was the heart of the home growing up – a place where cooking and entertaining weren't just tasks, but cherished traditions. The flavors and traditions of the Southwestern U.S. quickly became ingrained. Late summer harvest seasons were synonymous with joyous, weekend-long gatherings, filled with the aroma of roasting chiles and the communal effort of preparing delicious meals. It was within this loving, familial atmosphere that a deep appreciation for roasted chiles took root.
If you're looking to elevate your taste experience, High Mesa Chile Co. combines bold flavors with Southwestern traditions to craft roasted hot sauces for every spice connoisseur. Whether you’re a heat seeker or just discovering the magic of Hatch and Pueblo peppers, their handcrafted sauces deliver the perfect balance of fire and flavor to any dish. Drizzle it over eggs or breakfast burritos, stir it into soups or rice dishes, or try it on popcorn for an extra kick! However you use it, one thing’s for sure—once you’ve tasted High Mesa, there’s no going back.
Founded on a dedication to premium ingredients and time-honored techniques, High Mesa Chile Co. takes a thoughtful approach to spice. Their Roasted Hatch Hot Sauce highlights the essence of Hatch chiles, using a selected mix of ingredients to enhance—not mask—their naturally rich, slightly sweet heat. For a brighter, more aromatic taste, their Roasted Habanero Hot Sauce blends habaneros with ginger and red bell peppers, which adds a zesty tingle on the lips.
What truly sets High Mesa apart from mass-produced sauces is their commitment to keeping things simple. Free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, each bottle is filled with only top-tier ingredients. Their dedication to avoiding unnecessary additives allows the true essence of each ingredient to shine through. The use of flame-roasting, for example, isn’t just a cooking technique—it’s a way to infuse each sauce with a smoky richness that brings a depth of flavor you won’t find in more commercial offerings. This focus to quality extends to every aspect of their sauces, ensuring a consistently high standard that stands out in a crowded market.
High Mesa Chile Co. took time-honored techniques and applied them with a fresh approach, unafraid to experiment with new ingredients and bold flavor combinations. This innovation is what drives their sauces to push boundaries and breathe new life into familiar flavors, redefining the spice experience.
