The Collection

One recipe.Perfected over generations.

We make one thing. We make it slowly, by hand, in a single kitchen in Xalapa. What you find below is a flagship — and a quiet promise of what's being proofed for the seasons ahead.

Totopos de Maíz Clásicos con Sal de Mar

"Our flagship. The one that started everything — and the only one we've made for nineteen years."

Nixtamalized heirloom corn, stone-ground the old way, hand-cut and kissed with Yucatán sea salt. Thin, brittle, honestly crisp. Four ingredients, nothing more — the standard every future recipe must answer to.

In Development

The next chapters.

Three new expressions of Mexican terroir are still in family tasting. Each one gets released only when it earns its place beside Clásicos.

Summer 2026

Chile & Lima

bright heat

Chile de árbol, key lime zest, and a sharper finish built for seafood, lager, and late-summer tables.

Fall 2026

Maíz Azul

heritage edition

A darker, deeper totopo from Oaxacan blue corn. More mineral, more toast, and closer to the old kitchens that inspired the brand.

Winter 2026

Chipotle Ahumado

slow smoke

A slower profile with chipotle, aged panela, and oregano. Built for darker beers, charred vegetables, and colder nights.
