In 1986 Maria Dolores left her native Mexico together with her husband and their two children to settle in Switzerland, her husband’s home. Though the foreign country soon felt like a beloved second home to her what she missed most were the special ingredients, flavours and textures of her Mexican cuisine. Authentic products such as the typical Mexican sauces or salsas, however, were hard to come by. So she tied an apron around her waist and started cooking her own salsas according to old family recipes, and then in 1995, she began to sell her creations at market stalls in Zurich and Bern. Everything is freshly made with carefully selected premium ingredients – without any preservatives, artificial colours or flavour enhancers.
