200 g

A cooked salsa that balances the best of both worlds: the vibrant acidity of green tomatillos and jalapeño peppers, paired with the smoky, lively character of toasted chile de árbol. Finished with a touch of fresh lime, this salsa verde is thick, bold, and has that rustic texture that perfectly coats every taco.

Features

Medium-high heat level
🌶️🌶️🌶️ (A flavorful, balanced heat; the jalapeño adds body, and the chile de árbol provides just the right amount of intensity).

Flavor Profile
Distinctly tart and fresh from the tomatillo, with subtle smoky/toasty notes from the chile de árbol and a bright citrus undertone.

Texture
Thick, dense, and full-bodied. A perfectly blended sauce that holds its shape on the meat without running off.

Recommendations for Use.

Its tangy and spicy profile makes it the ideal all-purpose condiment to cut through the richness of fatty meats or heavily seasoned stews.
