A bold, smoky, and unexpectedly versatile take on a traditional Mexican salsa.
Crafted with premium ingredients like roasted pistachios, dried morita chiles, piloncillo (raw Mexican sugar), cranberries, olive oil, and a touch of apple cider vinegar, this salsa strikes the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and tang. Finished with sea salt and garlic, it’s rich, textured, and layered in flavor—without any seed oils or preservatives.
While it’s the perfect companion for classic Mexican dishes—think ceviche tostadas, tacos, or chilaquiles—its versatility goes far beyond. Spoon it over lox-topped bagels or avocado toast, swirl it into labne or Greek yogurt for a smoky-spicy dip or dressing, or add it to your cheese board to elevate every bite of aged cheese, crackers, and honey.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply craving something special, this Salsa Macha is your secret weapon in the kitchen—deeply rooted in Mexican tradition, but made for modern tables everywhere.

I bought it for my husband because he loves a good salsa match. I on the other hand don’t have it as much because the oil in most salsas gives me bad heartburn. Decided to try it, and oh my it is delicious. Such a great balance of spicy and sweet AND I did not get any heartburn. I’ve been putting it on almost everything. I’ll have to buy another jar for my husband because I alone am about done with this one.
I love salsa macha Matriarca , flavor is just this perfect sweetness and spicy combo , the smokiness is just a cherry on top ! I put it in everything and I’ve given this as a gift to family . Definitely my favorite

This is definitely a staple in my home. The spice is a perfect balance & not overpowering. I love how suddenly this is what determines half the meals I cook at home “what would go good with my salsa macha” because I just want to indulge every day!
Amazing macha that can be added to just about anything! Tacos de nopales, avocado and salsa macha on a fresh tortilla made with Matriarca masa harina- delicious!!
Salsa Macha, what can I say?This stuff is magical. You can literally add it to any dish and it will enhance your dish with the most delicious flavor profiles. It's smokey, sweet, spicy and just plain amazing! By far the best salsa Macha I've ever had! Buy more then one jar or you'll be fighting with your household on who ate it all.
Love the Agave néctar it’s my daughter’s favorite and now the Salsa Macha is my husband’s fave. He want to try the Salsa Macha Hot Batch so we will be ordering it soon.
Your salsa macha is very flavorful. I like the crunchiness as I bite into this unique salsa. I enjoy it, as it goes well with any type of food that I eat. Thank you!
I love lovr thus Salsa Macha! I just bought one for my daughter and her husband and they both also love it! I plan to buy more for gifts for Christmas.

I love the mild matcha, it’s a combination of spicy with a bit of sweetness and I top all of my food with it!
Love it so much!
I had tried other salsa machas before and decided that I did not like them. They all had a slightly burned taste. This is nothing like the others and its now my favorite salsa. Everyone that I’ve shared this with has loved it.
La mejor salsa macha que he probado!! I’m obsessed with having it with my eggs every morning and have to stay stocked up because I truly don’t think I can eat my eggs plain anymore. The flavor profile is unlike anything I’ve ever had before, the sweetness of the cranberries the crunch from the pistachios!! Una chulada. You can add it to anything and it’ll instantly elevate your dish. Gracias por brindarnos un producto del cual ya no podemos vivir sin el. 10/10 definitivamente!

A premium chile oil made with organic chile morita, pistachios, piloncillo, cranberries, garlic, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. No seed oils. No preservatives. The olive oil base gives it a richness that vegetable oils simply cannot replicate. It is smoky, slightly sweet, crunchy, and goes well with just about everything.
Fresh jalapeños slowly fried at a low temperature in olive oil, with Colima salt. Three ingredients. No seed oils. The result is a crunchy, spicy topping that goes on eggs, avocado toast, pasta, pizza, ceviche, soups, and beans. This year, it was changed to organic jalapeños grown in Mexico.
A chile-lime powder made with hibiscus flower. No preservatives or artificial colors. Its pink-red color comes naturally from the hibiscus. Use it on fruit, jicama, cucumber, mango, chips, cocktail rims, margaritas, popcorn, and yogurt. It is a clean-ingredient alternative to Tajín, without artificial colors.
Masa flour made with landrace corn grown in the Yucatán Peninsula. These are heirloom varieties passed down for generations, non-GMO, and nixtamalized with calcium hydroxide. The white version is made with traditional white corn; the red version is made with chac chob, a red landrace corn that creates tortillas with a deeper flavor and natural brick-red color.
Sea salt harvested by hand in Cuyutlán, Colima, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. No additives, no anti-caking agents, and no industrial processing. It is rich in trace minerals that refined salt loses. It has a clean ocean flavor and a softer finish than conventional table salt. It is mainly used as a finishing salt.
Yes. Matriarca’s Organic Agave has official organic certification. It is made with 100% Blue Weber agave and extracted through a thermal process, never fermentation, which helps preserve the plant’s natural sweetness. It is 30% sweeter than sugar and has a lower glycemic index.
No. No Matriarca product contains artificial preservatives. This has been one of the brand’s non-negotiables since day one.
Moderately. The classic Salsa Macha has a pleasant heat balanced by the sweetness of piloncillo. The Salsa Macha Hot Batch is significantly spicier, with the same premium ingredients and more chile. Chicharrón de Chile has the natural heat of jalapeño. Pica Maica has chile-lime heat. Everything con Chipotle has a mild, smoky spice.
Most Matriarca products are naturally gluten-free, including the masaharinas made with nixtamalized corn, powders, salt, agave, and salsas. Always check the label to confirm based on your specific needs.
Store it at room temperature before opening. Once opened, refrigeration is recommended to maintain freshness, although olive oil acts as a natural preservative.
