Spice Hounds brings small-batch, in-house fermented hot sauces to the Haunted Happenings Marketplace in Salem, Massachusetts, drawing heat and flavor from locally grown chili peppers and specialty vinegars.
About
Based in Eliot, Maine, Spice Hounds crafts fermented hot sauces using locally grown chili peppers and specialty vinegars fermented in-house. The small-batch process builds layered, complex heat rather than one-note spice, with a lineup that ranges from everyday table sauces to bolder, slow-fermented blends. Sustainability runs through the operation, and the brand donates five percent of profits to New England humane societies — a nod to the canine companions behind the name.
What Makes Them Unique
Every label and illustration is original artwork commissioned from Todd Purse of Create Magic Studios, giving each bottle a distinctive, collectible look. The combination of chef-driven fermentation, ethical sourcing, and art-forward branding sets Spice Hounds apart from mass-produced hot sauce.
