Yesterday, we embarked on planting our next crop of , , and Fireflame here on our farm in Bugesera, Rwanda. Embracing an African farming technique, we prepared a light, nutrient-rich mixture by combining soil, manure, and sand. To protect our seedlings overnight, we covered them with mango leaves. Today, we’re setting up shade nets to shield them from heavy rainfall, ensuring optimal growth conditions.
This journey reflects our commitment to sustainable agriculture and climate-smart practices. Stay tuned as we nurture these crops from seed to harvest!

Formed in 2016, Chilli Mash Company Ltd, was created through a partnership between 2 chilli sauce companies. Based in Hampshire, it aspires to be the largest independent UK based chilli mash, puree and ferment producer.
Alongside the production of ferments and purees, Chilli Mash Company is the manufacturing partner to a number of chilli sauce producers, kimchi makers and condiment businesses.
Condiment production
In 2017 Chilli Mash Company opened a brand new kitchen with state of the art facilities at it’s factory in Portsmouth, UK. With heavily upgraded machinery it is now ideally placed to produce volumes of up to 1 tonne per day. In 2018 an extension was added to the kitchen to allow for the production of cold fill and refrigerated products.
Have you got a bespoke product you’d like to produce? Why not send us a message? Our low minimum order quantity of 40kg is ideal for many small chilli sauce producers, restaurants & pubs.
