Gran Luchito Mexican
Originating from Veracruz, Mexico, salsa macha is made with a variety of dried chillies, seeds, nuts and oil. It's finely chopped but still has some texture.
It's typically used as a condiment that you serve alongside your meals to sprinkle on top, or use like a strong mustard. Alternatively, you can mix it into sauces, stews or dips.
Peanuts are traditionally used to make salsa macha, though the recipe is great with other nuts. Switch it up and try it with pecans or almonds.
Once opened we recommend storing our Salsa Macha in the fridge and consuming it within 6 weeks.
Its name is taken from the feminine for macho. It basically translates as brave sauce, in the sense that it is extremely strong and spicy!
