La Tortillería offers authentic Salsa Roja and Salsa Chipotle crafted from traditional recipes. These are available nationwide through independent grocers and online.
These salsas avoid the additives and preservatives typically found in mass-produced Australian supermarket brands.
The Traditional Retail Range
The retail selection includes Salsa Roja and Salsa Chipotle in 200ml jars. We translate recipes used in our own eatery into these jars to ensure the flavour remains honest and traditional. Many customers at our Kensington tortilleria prefer these for their clean finish and lack of artificial thickeners.
Taste Profiles and Usage
Salsa Roja provides a medium heat that cuts through the richness of corn, while Salsa Chipotle offers a milder, smoky depth. These are designed for splashing directly onto tacos or dipping totopos, adding a fiesta to any plate. Using a real salsa transforms a home meal into an authentic taqueria experience by providing the acidity and spice needed to balance a corn tortilla.
Ingredients and Sourcing
We use 95% Australian-sourced ingredients to maintain high standards and freshness. Our salsas are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO, aligning with the same purity we apply when stone-grinding our corn fresh each day rather than using instant masa harina. This commitment to the honest way of production ensures that the taste of Mexico is supported by local Australian produce.
The Gap in Australian Supermarkets
Finding a salsa that does not rely on sugar, cornstarch, or preservatives in mainstream aisles is difficult. We bridge this gap by providing a product that mirrors the taste of a traditional Mexican kitchen rather than a factory. This focus on purity is why top Australian restaurants like Mamasita and Fonda trust our products for their kitchens.
Where to find them in Australia
You can find our range at selected independent grocery stores across the country or order direct via our online store. We also stock them at our dedicated tortilleria.
