Traditional Salsas To Spice Up UK Kitchens

Making a good, traditional Mexican salsa can be a real labour of love, but thanks to Rico Mexican Kitchen, the hard work has been done for you.

From a fiery Xtra Chipotle salsa to a luxurious chocolate chilli Mole cooking sauce, Rico’s selection of fresh salsas and cooking sauces are ready to use quickly and easily at home.

Rico’s founder, Derbyshire based Marcela Flores Newburn, is originally from Monterrey in Mexico.  She created a range of salsas and cooking sauces after finding it difficult to source products in the UK that matched the texture and taste of the food she grew up with.

 “I’ve taken the hard work out of making traditional salsas and cooking sauces so that people can buy them to use quickly and simply at home,” Marcela explained.

"Salsas can be used in so many ways, not just for dips. You can mix and match them with your favourite foods, whether it's for a family meal, a summer BBQ or a nutritious snack.  The salsas can be spooned into wraps, enjoyed with melted cheese on toast or used hot as a cooking sauce with meat or vegetables.
“The chocolate chilli Mole is a particular favourite.  I use a rich, fragrant combination of nuts and spices, a hint of chilli and just a touch of cacao, which is great with cooked meat or tofu.  The Mole’s texture and mellow level of heat is also popular as a warm dipping sauce for party food or tortillas.”

Rico Mexican Kitchen’s product range includes Salsa Verde, Spicy Beans, Mild & Tasty Salsa, Chipotle Xtra Hot Salsa and Chilli Chocolate Mole (pronounced moleh) cooking sauce. 

All products contain 100% natural ingredients and are suitable for vegans, gluten free and contain at least two of your recommended ‘five a day’. 

Rico’s products retail between £1.75 and £3.49 and are available at specialist retailers including Harrods, Selfridges and Wholefoods Market in London and online at www.ricomexicankitchen.co.uk
