What is a ristra treatment?Updated 2 years ago

Ristra "Treatment" is spraying the chile ristra with a clear sealant that will give your ristra a glossy shine and help protect it from the elements. Treatments do make the ristra inedible but can prolong your ristra's life by 6-12 months, depending on the climate. Treatment isn't magic, though, so still, practice quality care of your ristra!

We offer both treated and untreated ristras to fit everyone's needs. The treatment is an additional $5 per ristra and is only applied if it is selected at checkout. If you did not select a treatment, but would like to get your ristra treated, simply email our support team at [email protected] and we can get that added to your order for you.

What is in the treatment? Our ristra-maker uses a secret family recipe, so we can't share the ingredients, unfortunately. If you have concerns about the treatment, email us and we'd be happy to answer any questions about allergies.
