The Makers of the HERDEZ® Brand Introduce New Refrigerated Salsas Line, Available in Mild, Medium and Chipotle

The HERDEZ® Brand, the No. 1 selling salsa brand in Mexico and one of the fastest growing guacamole brand in the U.S., expands refrigerated dip portfolio with three new salsas 

ORANGE, Calif. (April 12, 2023)—The makers of the HERDEZ® brand today announced the launch of HERDEZ® Traditional Refrigerated Salsa, a delicious line of salsas available in mild, medium and chipotle varieties, all of which pair the authentic flavors of Mexico with the ease and convenience of a ready-to-serve dip. From the makers of the No. 1 selling salsa brand in Mexico and the second-fastest growing guacamole brand in the U.S., the new HERDEZ® Traditional Salsas are created with simple ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic and jalapeño peppers, and can be incorporated into your favorite recipes, enjoyed with chips or used as a topper.

“When reviewing consumers’ salsa-purchasing preferences, we noticed a gap in the marketplace for flavor-forward, robust, roasted tomato salsa with herbs, spices and peppers, and our new HERDEZ® Traditional Salsa line specifically addresses that need with a convenient, refrigerated option,” said Chris Monahan, brand manager of HERDEZ® Refrigerated Dips. “To innovate, we leveraged the bold flavors of Mexico that our fans have come to love from the HERDEZ® brand with recipe inspiration from the HERDEZ® Fundación in Mexico City, which has been the home of Mexican culinary traditions for over 20 years and is committed to sharing the rich heritage of Mexican cuisine.”

HERDEZ® Traditional Refrigerated Salsa joins the existing family of HERDEZ® brand products, including HERDEZ® Traditional Refrigerated Guacamole, HERDEZ® Salsa Cremosas, HERDEZ® Avocado Hot Sauce and more. These refrigerated salsas are available in 15-ounce cups at retailers across the country, with increased nationwide distribution later this summer.

“Whether fans are looking to transport their tastebuds to Mexico or simply a burst of authentic flavor in every bite, HERDEZ® Traditional Salsas fill that craving,” Monahan said. The entire line is both gluten free and kosher and is sure to quickly become a refrigerator staple.
