Macha Salsa
for brave ones


This salsa is extremely spicy , those who eat it must be very brave or very machos to face so much hotness that’s why such name was given.

...however, in small amounts the macha salsa is very pleasant. Just put some drops to different Mexican
appetizers like quesadillas , sincronizadas , tostadas , etc. And we guarantee that the flavor of your dish will be much better.

It is said that the original recipe comes from Orizaba, Veracruz and it is prepared with dried serrano pepper – well that’s how the arbol pepper is called in Veracruz. In the preparation
the arbol pepper is only combined with olive oil , it definitely is a simple recipe but the result is very interesting.
