Origins
Salsa roja, or red sauce made from dried chilies, tomato, and aromatics, is one of Mexico's foundational sauces - present in everything from enchiladas to posole to tamale fillings. FILLO'S sibling founders grew up eating Latin food shaped by family tradition and Latin American heritage, and they built their tamale range to honor the depth and variety of Latin American pantry cooking in a format that fits any lifestyle.
Taste: Earthy, Spicy, Fruity.
