ORGANIC corn tortillas
From the Aztecs to the taquerias of today corn tortillas have been the foundation of Mexican cuisine and are a part of every meal. Like bread, tortillas are best made and served fresh. So we have dedicated ourselves to making them every day.
Freshly nixtamalized corn not only makes delicious tortillas but enables us to absorb valuable vitamins and minerals including calcium, protein, oils and vitamins B3 (niacin), B1 (thiamin), B5(pantothenic acid) & folate.
We use whole-kernel organic corn slowly cooked in water and slaked lime. This thousand year old process of Nixtamalization used by the Aztec & Mayans releases valuable nutrients otherwise unavailable. The corn is then ground in a "molino" where the corn is passed between with hand-carved volcanic stones to produce a “masa” or dough of exceptional quality, flavor and authenticity ready to be pressed and cut into golden tortilla-sized discs.

Grinding:
Carefully ground by volcanic stones in small batches with water to create the perfect masa.
