## Overview

## Description

The 150 year Ortega tradition all started with Maria Conception Jacinta Dominguez Ortega, or as we like to call her, Mama. Mama Ortega. Mama's memorable cooking did more than just bring her family together. It was in Mama's kitchen that her 11th child, Emilio, established the Ortega Chile Packing Company. Emilio's fascination with chilies began when he moved to New Mexico in 1890. Here he encountered the state's popular big red chilies. When he returned home to California a few years later, he brought with him chili pepper seeds and many recipes for dishes he had grown to love while in New Mexico. Back home with his family at their adobe house in Ventura, California, Emilio planted the chili seeds. Those chilies grew extremely well in the temperature climate of Ventura. Soon Emilio had so many chilies he had to give them away. Everyone loved them! That's when he knew he had something special. In 2003, B&G Foods purchased the Ortega brand. Like Emilio Ortega, B&G Foods has a long tradition of commitment to quality. So today, when a family picks up a can of chilies or a box of taco shells, they know they are getting the very best. This web site has been created to continue the rich heritage of the Ortega family. By sharing our collection of delicious Mexican recipes, we hope to help you create fond memories of great meals shared with your family.

Review: I really like this taco sauce. I have figured out I am more of a taco sauce person than a salsa person. It seems to have a fuller bodied taste and no chunky stuff. I am not a fan of onion texture, so I do not like chunky sauces. This is perfect with the spices and no pieces. It does not have a spicey taste as in temperature. No heat. Just spices as in garlic and salt. Good value too.
Review: I've found this to be one of the better taco sauces as far as taste, smoothness and right amount of heat is concerned. I've started to purchase it on desertcart as well since you can't beat there price as well. Its multiple dollars cheaper than my local grocery.
