In the maker's own words

Flagship: La Quebradora (Salsa Verde)
Heat: 1–3/10
Story: I've been cooking my own chilli sauces for a good 30 years. For my friends. For my family. For myself. For decades my friends kept telling me: 'You have to sell your sauces!' I've finally brought myself to do it. Industrial bottling is out of the question for me, I cook every sauce by hand. Alongside my hot ones, my Salsa Verde came out of my first trip to Mexico many years ago, perfect for a Sunday plate of Chilaquiles Verdes. The sauces are named after lucha libre wrestling moves.
Pairings: Chilaquiles Verdes, the classic Mexican breakfast, with cheese, red onion and crema
As a snack with taquitos or papitas
With scrambled eggs, for enchiladas, or just on its own. Para bañarse!
Allergens: None. No additives, unfiltered, handmade and hand-labeled.
Fun fact: You could live without them. But why should you?
