We're making hot sauces and chilli powders from chillies grown on Cyprus. Everything is still in prototype — nothing is for sale yet.
It's the quiet half of fire — what's left on the ground the morning after, still warm.
We wanted a name that pointed at heat with something behind it, rather than heat as a dare. Ash is what stays once the burning is done.

The chillies are grown here. Where a pepper is raised shapes how it tastes, and this island gives it a particular set of conditions to grow in.
Cyprus has some of the longest, driest summers in the Mediterranean — a climate built for ripening fruit slowly and completely.
Mediterranean earth, iron-red in places, that has been growing food on this island for thousands of years.
There is sea on every side of Cyprus. Salt is in the air here, and it has always been part of how the island preserves and seasons its food.
This is an early-stage brand, not a factory. What exists today are test batches and a lot of tasting.
Both are still in prototype. Recipes are being tested and changed, and nothing has a final name, a final heat level or a price yet.
