FAQs

At its simplest, salsa macha is an oil-based Mexican condiment made from dried chiles, garlic, nuts, seeds, and oil. But that description barely scratches the surface.

Unlike the tomato-based salsas most Americans picture when they hear the word "salsa," there are no tomatoes here. No tomatillos. No cilantro. Instead, you get a thick, rust-colored oil packed with crunchy bits of fried chiles, toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and garlic — sometimes with pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, or even a touch of vinegar or piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar) for balance.

The result is a condiment that's simultaneously smoky, nutty, sweet, spicy, and deeply crunchy. It's shelf-stable, doesn't need refrigeration, and the flavor actually improves over time as the ingredients meld in the oil.
