About El Rudo Gourmet Inc.

Born from a deep friendship between two Canadian compadres, this successful venture is the brainchild of a renowned Mexican-born Chef, and a former diplomat and avid aficionado of Mexican gastronomy. Working together for several months, they created the perfect Chili Oil Sauce, better known as Salsa Macha. This amazing condiment is the perfect addition to any kitchen, offering a bold, rich flavor profile that enhances dishes across a wide spectrum of cuisines. Whether you're a fan of traditional Mexican fare or love experimenting with flavors from around the world, this versatile chili oil sauce adds an extra layer of delicious heat and savory depth to any meal. Discover the inspiration behind our name, rooted in a traditional Mexican sauce. Its exact origin remains a captivating mystery, contested by several towns in Mexico, each claiming to be its birthplace. The classic version, fiery with "chile de arbol," fueled our passion at El Rudo, where we have crafted our unique Mexican-Canadian version of Macha: an oil-based creation, infusing different non-spicy dried chiles and tamarind for a distinct smokiness and perfect heat. If you’re looking for a condiment that complements everyday meals, look no further. Use it as a finishing touch for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers to elevate simple ingredients with a dash of heat and umami. It works wonders drizzled over roasted vegetables or mixed into grains like rice, quinoa, or couscous for an added boost of flavor.Read their story
