The Jardines story begins with Texasalsa, the first batch conceived by the spirit of buda. The heat of summer made preserving food challenging, so the spirit of buda got crafty, jarring vegetables in vinegar to extend the shelf life. What he never expected, however, was the explosion of flavor resulting from the veggie and vinegar blend. Crisp, fresh and bursting with life, Texasalsa set the standard for salsa today.
