Capitana By Lorenza’s small-batch Mexican-style Chili Crunch With Figs will take any dish to the next level. This robust salsa macha—a traditional rich chile oil that originated in Veracruz, Mexico—is thick and velvety, with an infusion of warm spices and sesame, along with smoky heat from dried morita chiles. Figs layer in natural sweetness without distracting from the moderate spice. Perfect for adding depth to roasted veggies and grilled meats or pairing with milky Queso Campesino Queso Oaxaca.
“This salsa macha is so addictive. It takes my quesadillas to the next level and adds a sweet hit of spice to my cheese plates. It’s especially good with Manchego.”
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Dried Chili Peppers, Dried Figs, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Brown Sugar, Salt
- Started in Connecticut by Mexican-born Lorenza Arnal, Capitana By Lorenza crafts salsa macha using traditional Mexican recipes.
- After moving to the states, cooking Mexican food was Lorenza’s way of reconnecting with her culture and roots.
- Salsa macha is traditionally made from varying blends of chiles, oil, nuts, and seeds—Capitana by Lorenza’s are made in small batches using extra virgin olive oil and sometimes dried fruit for added sweetness.
- They give a portion of their profits to IXIM, an organization that helps indigenous women in the Tzetzal communities of Chiapas, Mexico.
