Alert! Chicaoji shortage!
Update as of May 27th: Sad to say: Chicaoji is out of stock online.
š
We will resume production and shipping ASAP! A few stores in Anacortes & the San Juan Islands have some…for now..
š
Thereās a good reason. We are going to share the Chicaoji production facility with āTaproot A Lopez Kitchenā shared-use community kitchen. Taproot is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that organized to help small food processors start and run businesses and to provide home processors the opportunity to process/preserve food for their families using commercial scale equipment.
This requires a few changes to the infrastructure. We thought we had enough backstock to keep all of yāall supplied with Chicaoji during this remodel but….alas….we are on island time… and things are taking longer than expected. (We were even a little ahead of what we thought we needed for this but folks just keep ordering!)
We hope to be back up and running by mid-June. Iāll post about it on the Chicaoji Facebook page.
You can also follow our progress on the Taproot Facebook page.
As inconvenient as this shortage may be, keep in mind that itās temporary. Taproot serves the long term goal of community food sustainability and economic opportunity.
We appreciate your whatever patience you can muster.

Chicaoji is a food/sauce to be eaten….and it just isnāt that hot.
People drink it out of the bottle.
We have the 12 oz bottles and Ā½ Gallon growlers online. Contact us for gallon jugs.
The 5 oz bottles seemed so small so we stopped filling them.
Try Chicaoji on anything.
Thank you very much. Enjoy!
