James and Laynya
Salsa del Norte came into existence as a consequence of necessity. James, a native of the great Southwest, found that joining the United States Navy was a gastronomic disaster. Missing the culinary delights of home, he was forced to start creating recipes and sauces in order to enjoy eating again. James settled in the magnificent Pacific Northwest which influenced his recipes. Unknown to him at the time, he invented what you are now enjoying, Salsa del Norte. For the last decade, demand for his salsa has spread internationally. Recently, James reconnected with Laynya, his childhood friend in Seattle. Laynya introduced the salsa to her family and found that fights started erupting when the salsa ran low. This sparked inspiration. A pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, Laynya took the helm and created our company, Del Norte Gourmet, LLC. The partnership born, Salsa del Norte is now available to everyone either at your local gourmet store or through this website. Now food will never be boring for anyone again! We hope you enjoy!
