Gusa Hidalgo Serrano Fermented Chilli Mash by Chilli Mash Co.
Only Two Ingredients. Only the Best.
Gusa—meaning “Only” in Kinyarwanda—is more than a name. It’s our promise. One variety. Two ingredients. Grown, crafted, and perfected in Rwanda. Pure chilli. Pure flavour. Only the best.
What Is Gusa Hidalgo Serrano Chilli Mash?
Gusa Hidalgo Serrano Chilli Mash is a refined evolution of our chilli purees—cleaner, fresher, and more sustainably made. Crafted from 95% fresh Hidalgo Serrano chillies and 5% salt, it’s naturally fermented at source in Rwanda, with no vinegar or artificial preservatives.
Mashed on the day of harvest and slowly fermented to develop its depth, Gusa offers a crisp, green brightness, subtle earthiness, and balanced, medium heat—true to the Hidalgo Serrano’s classic profile.
What Makes Gusa Unique?
✅ Seed to Sauce Control – We grow and process everything ourselves under strict sustainable practices from seed to final mash.
✅ Pure & Simple – Just two ingredients: Hidalgo Serrano chillies and salt.
✅ Naturally Fermented – Our lacto-fermentation process enhances flavour and shelf life.
✅ Pasteurised for Freshness – Shelf-stable without additives or vinegar.
✅ Sustainably Made at Source – Mashing on harvest day means no air freight, no quality loss, and zero waste—offcuts are composted and returned to the soil.
✅ Empowering Local Producers – Every batch supports skilled jobs in Rwanda and builds fermentation expertise and food safety knowledge.
