About Sobremesa Mole & Salsas

Sobremesa is a small-batch mole and salsa company in Charleston, South Carolina. We believe in taking the time to do things right, from perfecting and crafting our products to pressing pause and enjoying them with family and friends. Because to us, food is not just something to eat—it’s an experience to savor. A third-generation Mexican- and Italian-American, Chef Mark Ciaburri grew up in El Paso and honed his culinary career in Austin. He dove head-first into the dynamic world of regional Mexican cuisine, all the while unintentionally exploring his past through his palate. Over time, batch by batch, he developed his own personal contributions to the long and rich tradition of Mexican cooking. Those recipes—and our products—are defined by their integrity of ingredients and process. Some are bright and light. Others, velvety, rich, and nuanced. Their construction is meticulous. Their vibrancy invites questions and prompts conversations. All are crafted, bottled, and shared in small batches in Charleston, South Carolina. Together, they honor the Spanish tradition that is our namesake: Sobremesa. Sobremesa is about taking time—to gather with friends and family, to slow down and look around, to enjoy the moment. We believe in Sobremesa, and we hope our products might play a part in bringing it into your home.Read their story
