The Story of Louie Ezra's Roasted Salsa

The story of Louie Ezra's Roasted Salsa begins with a low budget anniversary date, continues with a feisty tomato-loving rescue Terrier, and ends with uniquely flavored salsa handcrafted in small batches with love and dedication to quality.  

The creator of Louie Ezra's Roasted Salsa found an intriguing salsa recipe that she elected to make as part of a picnic to celebrate her wedding anniversary. Upon completion, she had one thought - "I can do better!"

Fast forward a couple of years to the arrival of the salsa's namesake. A rescue dog from TracysPaws in Texas who immediately became family, Louie Ezra was spirited and came ready made for Western New York - he loves snow, and has a "can do" attitude no matter what adversity comes along. His attitude and tenacity inspired the creator to pursue her gardening and salsa-making passions. And he can't get enough tomatoes. He sits patiently, watching with great anticipation as Momma cuts the tomatoes, just hoping a piece or two falls to the floor. So of course the salsa had to bear his name!

The breakthrough for the salsa's taste came from the creator's decision to roast the ingredients, intensifying the flavors and adding a bit of caramelization. Tomatoes, peppers and garlic fresh from the garden combine with sweet onions and shallots in every batch, with some varieties also receiving grilled corn and/or freshly picked cilantro. 

Enjoy an 8oz. jar of pure deliciousness for only $8!

Try the "Pink Heirloom" variety, with the natural sweetness of pink-fleshed tomatoes being enhanced by just the right amount of heat and a generous helping of freshness from cilantro. 

Or the "Black Krim Extra Garlic", featuring - you guessed it - a heavy hand with the garlic, playing perfectly with the slight saltiness of the Black Krim Heirloom tomatoes. (The BKEG has a small quantity of 16oz. jars available for $13.50 in addition to the 8oz. size)

Perhaps you prefer a little more heat. If so, try the "Yellow Heirloom + Blue Dwarf = Heat", adding roasted Blue Dwarf hot peppers to the mix for a satisfying salsa that will tantalize your taste buds with spicy flavor but stops well short of burning them off.  (NOTE: currently a very small quantity available - more on the way of this variety.)

Or better yet - try them all with the 3 jars for $20 deal! Pick any 3 of the 8oz. size and save $4 off the individual jar price. 

But whatever you do, don't wait - Louie Ezra's Roasted Salsa is available in a limited quantity (as all good handcrafted things are), and once it's sold out, it's gone until next year!!
