What makes a good store-bought salsa?

What's restaurant-style salsa?

Restaurant-style salsa has a chopped texture rather than a pureed consistency, with visible pieces of tomato, onion, and pepper. It's the salsa you typically get with chips at a Mexican restaurant. If you've ever gone to a restaurant and wondered why you can't buy salsa like that, well now you can, with Guillermo's.

What's the difference between refrigerated and jarred salsa?

Jarred salsa is cooked at high heat, uses artificial preservatives, and is sealed for room-temperature storage. This extends its shelf life, but softens the vegetables and dulls the flavor. Guillermo's Salsa is never cooked and is kept cold, which preserves the chop on the tomatoes, the brightness of the lime and cilantro, and the bite of the jalapeño. Trust us, once you've tasted it, you'll never go back!

Is the salsa kosher?

Yes, all of our salsas are kosher. Mazel tov! As we roll out new products, there may be a delay in getting the certification listed on the packaging, but we do go through a proper verification process.
