Description
La Costeña Salsa Verde, the authentic tomatillo flavour that has accompanied Mexican cuisine for generations.

What is Salsa Verde?
Salsa Verde is one of the most iconic sauces in Mexican cuisine. It is made primarily with tomatillos, a fruit distinct from the common tomato, prized for its fresh, naturally tangy flavour.
Unlike Salsa Roja, Salsa Verde has a lighter, brighter flavour profile and is enjoyed both as a table sauce and as an essential ingredient in many traditional Mexican recipes.
