Name that Salsa!

Gloria Gonzales, a good friend of ours from Joe's hometown of Eureka, CA, is an expert maker of salsa. Last weekend she generously sent us over 50 bottles of her homemade awesomeness! This bountiful gift came in three flavors: Roasted Tomatilla (my favorite), Salsa Verde (green), and Peach Habanero (the hot stuff). (If you stopped by the Mexican food booth at Chris & Sarah's wedding last Saturday you may have tasted some already.)


What separates Gloria's salsa from the masses of other hot sauces is the powerful presence of flavor. It's so much more than just a hot sauce. Joe finds a way to add to most everything I cook. He says it goes with just about anything, excepting cold cereal.






We'd like to show Gloria our appreciation by developing a name and branding label for her salsa. Your name ideas are welcome; please post a comment.
*If you need a free sample to get the creative juices flowing, let me know ;)

  1. I'm not good at thinking up names, but just wanted to say that I tasted that salsa at the wedding, and it is very, very, good! I agree with Joe--I'd put it on just about everything, except cold cereal...I wish it was sold locally, I'd love to buy it.

    1. Hopefully someday Gloria's sauce will be available to purchase in stores. I'm sure you'd use it often. From what George has told us Mexican food seems to be a Hier family favorite. In the meantime let me know what flavor you'd like to try and I could drop some by.

  2. Grace what a nice post- I'm going to tell Gloria about it :) - she wants to sell everywhere...but for now if she gets orders for up there she'll be sending it with people like us who commute ;)
