Originating from Veracruz, this unique salsa has gained popularity worldwide, becoming a must-have condiment for anyone who enjoys bold, complex flavors. Unlike typical salsas, Salsa Macha is oil-based, offering a smooth, luxurious texture and deep, roasted flavor that works as a finishing sauce, marinade, or cooking ingredient.

This 120g jar is perfect for New Zealand kitchens, giving food lovers a taste of authentic Mexican spice to complement their favorite dishes. Salsa Macha is versatile, delicious, and an excellent way to introduce a new layer of flavor to your meals.

H2: What is Salsa Macha?

Salsa Macha is a traditional Mexican chili oil made by blending dried chilies, garlic, nuts, and oil. This combination creates a salsa with a rich, spicy, and slightly nutty flavor profile that pairs well with various dishes. Unlike chunky tomato-based salsas, Salsa Macha has a smooth, liquid consistency, perfect for drizzling over foods or incorporating into recipes for an added burst of flavor.

While recipes vary, common ingredients in Salsa Macha include:

  • Dried Chilies: Popular chilies used include chipotle, arbol, or guajillo, each contributing its unique heat level and flavor. These chilies provide a smoky, rich flavor that forms the base of the salsa.
  • Garlic: Fried garlic cloves add a savory depth to the salsa, balancing the heat of the chilies with a warm, roasted flavor.
  • Nuts: Typically peanuts or almonds, nuts contribute a nutty, slightly sweet taste that makes Salsa Macha stand out. They also provide texture, making the salsa richer and more satisfying.
  • Oil: Vegetable oil is used to create the base of the salsa, allowing the flavors of the chilies and nuts to infuse into a smooth, silky consistency.
