“For three generations Cholula has served as the perfect staple to bring authentic, fresh Mexican flavor to any dish,” said Valda Coryat, North America Vice President of Marketing for McCormick & Company. “We’re excited to expand beyond the sauce category and into the mainstream Mexican aisle to deliver that delicious flavor and balanced heat to passionate Cholula fans in new and exciting ways. Flavor runs in the Cholula family and our salsas and taco seasoning mixes are no exception to the motherload of mouthwatering taste we bring to each and every recipe.”

Now on grocery shelves nationwide, the new salsa line features Cholula® Original Salsa, Cholula® Salsa Verde and Cholula® Smoky Chipotle. The taco seasonings, which are also now on grocery shelves nationwide, will be available in three varieties, including Cholula® Original Recipe Mix, Cholula® Smoky Chipotle Recipe Mix, and Cholula® Chili Garlic Recipe Mix.

Made with fresh and quality ingredients like Mexican chiles, herbs and spices, all six new products are crafted to deliver unique and authentic Mexican flavor. From tacos and enchiladas to dips and sauces, Cholula fans can now dip, season, or drip the rich flavor of Cholula to their dishes. This news comes on the heels of the launch of Cholula® Reserva Tequila & Lime, the first widely available, 100% agave tequila premium hot sauce carefully crafted with agave tequila and a blend of chile de arbol and piquín peppers.
