Alert! Chicaoji shortage!

Update as of November 27, 2018.

Sadness: Chicaoji is out of stock online and in stores.

We will resume production and shipping ASAP!

The contractors are working on the remodel at Chicaoji Central. This project was supposed to take 3-4 weeks back in the merry month of May….now it’s almost Christmas. It looks unlikely that there will be any Chicaoji by the upcoming holidays. So sorry about that.

There’s a good reason for the upgrade (not so much the delay). We are going to share the Chicaoji production facility with “Taproot A Lopez Kitchen” 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 small changes to the building. We thought we had enough backstock to keep all of y’all supplied with Chicaoji during this remodel but….alas….we are on island time… and things are taking longer than expected.  I’ll 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 it’s 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 isn’t that hot.

People drink it out of the bottle.

We have the 12 oz bottles and ½ 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!
