FAQ
Your Most Frequently Asked Questions
-
Salsa macha is a versatile condiment primarily used as a finishing touch to add spice and crunch. It's delicious on tacos, scrambled or fried eggs, rice or stir-fried noodles, as well as grilled meats like chicken or steak. It can also enhance simple dishes like avocado toast, grilled vegetables, or even soup, bringing a spicy and flavorful touch inspired by Mexican cuisine.
-
In Mesoamerican culinary tradition, corn is much more than an ingredient: it is a cultural foundation. Our corn oil builds on this heritage, delicately carrying the flavors of chili peppers, creating a salsa macha that is rich, balanced, and deeply inspired by Mexico.
-
The main difference between mild and spicy salsa macha lies in the level of heat and the flavor profile.
Mild salsa macha is generally smokier and rounder, made with less potent chilies that allow more room for roasted notes, oil, and the aromas of nuts or garlic to shine through.
Spicy salsa macha, on the other hand, adds a good kick of heat: more intense in strong chilies, it places greater emphasis on spiciness while retaining the crunch and typical richness of salsa macha.
-
Maple macha salsa is a Mexico-Quebec fusion that combines the spice and crunch of Mexican chilies with the natural sweetness of Quebec maple syrup. It creates a unique balance of heat, intensity, and sweet notes, bringing together two strong culinary traditions in one condiment.
-
Salsa macha is a traditional Mexican sauce made from oil infused with dried chilies, garlic, salt, and often nuts or seeds such as peanuts or sesame. It is typical of Mexico for its intense, smoky, and spicy flavor, as well as its crunchy texture, used as a condiment to enhance a wide variety of dishes.
-
Once opened, salsa macha (a Mexican sauce made with oil, chilies, and nuts) generally keeps for 2 to 3 months in the refrigerator. Personally, we prefer to keep it at room temperature, but it's better to refrigerate it for longer preservation.
-
Yes, the traditional recipe for salsa macha, which originates from Veracruz, Mexico, often contains peanuts, in addition to dried chilies, garlic, salt, and oil. Peanuts are among the typical ingredients of this original version, as they add crunch, richness, and a deeper flavor to the sauce.
-
Salsa macha is traditionally made with dried Mexican chiles such as chile de árbol for heat, guajillo for sweeter notes, and pasilla or chipotle for a smokier and deeper flavor. Depending on the recipe, other chiles can also be used to create a unique flavor profile, but some combinations are deliberately kept secret to preserve the distinctive character of the recipe.
