What began as a family tradition dating back nearly 50 years, has become Merlinda's award-winning Blue Ribbon Chile and Salsa. Her Albuquerque, New Mexico business now ships the hot delicacy to outlets all over the country.
With each jar, she promises, "For Mother and Grandmother, I will keep up the quality of our wonderful chile and most importantly, do my best to share our exquisite cooking and serve my customer's needs."
