Meet Tommi.

I sold tyres by day and made chili by night. In the end I built the brand I'd have wanted to buy myself.

Tommi grew up around chili and the grill. For years he fermented, roasted and blended in his own kitchen in Nokia, not chasing the hottest heat, but the most balanced one. Finferno came out of that.

Fermented chili

Fermentation gives a soft, rounded heat instead of a raw, sharp burn. Not hotter, better.

Fresh chilies go into salt and are left alone. It is not a seasoning step. The sharp green edge of a raw pepper breaks down, and what comes back is rounder, deeper and slightly sour, the way a good sourdough is sour. Nothing is added to make that happen. It is the same work that sits behind kimchi and behind every hot sauce worth the name, and it is why the jar tastes of the pepper rather than of heat alone. It takes weeks, which is why almost nobody does it at this scale.

At least 10%
real chili

A concrete promise on the label. Nothing diluted, nothing padded out.

Most of what is sold as chili powder is mostly something else. Salt, sugar, oil, starch, colour, and just enough actual pepper that a label can round it away. Ours is printed on the side of the jar and it does not move. It is a floor, not an average, which is the only way a number on a label means anything.
