"In Tasting Table's definitive ranking of nine jarred salsa macha sauces, Masienda brand's Guajillo, Cranberry, and Hazelnut Salsa Macha easily swept the competition. This chewy, earthy macha boasts a textural element that sets it above competitor offerings. Where Masienda's macha truly shines, though, is in balance and creativity. The inventive interplay of guajillo chili pepper, cranberry, and hazelnut was expertly proportioned to deliver all the right notes on all the right levels, making this non-traditional ingredient combo feel like a welcome upgrade rather than jarring."
"The hazelnuts are an interesting counterpoint to peanuts, which are more typical in these kinds of recipes, and they pair wonderfully with the cranberries, whose slight tartness complements all of the other flavors surprisingly well. We also appreciated how Masienda's macha salsa leaned a bit funkier and more dimensional than ultra-spicy - bonus points for accessibility (and a fitting welcome mat for macha beginners)."
Salsa macha is a Mexican oil-based, chili-infused condiment featuring dried chilies, crunchy nuts, and suspended ingredients that deliver savory heat and texture. Masienda's Guajillo, Cranberry, and Hazelnut Salsa Macha topped a ranking of jarred machas due to its chewy, earthy textural element and strong balance. The combination of guajillo chili, cranberry, and hazelnut is expertly proportioned to deliver layered flavor without jarring contrasts. Hazelnuts act as an intriguing counterpoint to typical peanuts and harmonize with cranberries' slight tartness. The product emphasizes funkier, more dimensional flavors over sheer heat, increasing accessibility for newcomers. Masienda has supplied traditional Mexican foodstuffs since 2014.
