The Story

The Brooklyn Salsa Company was born in the early spring of 2008 when Rob and Matt decided to do battle with the stale flavors of American condiments. They redesigned their loft kitchen, cooked up a storm, got on their bikes and delivered homemade, organic tacos with just five options – Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, The Bronx, or Brooklyn. It was a grassroots promotion that led to excited whispers across New York City, tons of new friends, and the new flavor necessary to move forward with the five greatest salsas in the history of the world. No kidding.

With a clear vision of the future, as much revolution as modern, sustainable practice, BK Salsa is moving day by day towards epic change. We currently build our Sauces from as many Direct Trade, Local, Organic ingredients as we can get our hands on and as we grow up, our promise is to constantly be upgrading, giving back, pushing boundaries and exposing the voices and new methods we believe in.

By meticulously selecting our ingredients based on the climate and soil they’re grown in, the people that grow them, and the explosive flavor of each tomato, pepper, onion, lime, pineapple, and stalk of cilantro we use, we can assure you that there isn’t a better sauce for your face, or your planet. To begin, we’ve teamed with urban gardeners across the city to create more green space inside the concrete jungle. We’re targeting rooftops (The future of NYC’s clean air and blue skies, maybe even the acres we need to grow ingredients for future jars of BK Salsa), compostable landfills, empty lots, backyards, cement parks and the roughly kept streets of NYC. For the tropical ingredients like Coconuts we need from our friends down South, we’re developing cooperative farmland in places that could use a helping hand.

Locally, we’re working with the best of the best, but we believe that everyone deserves to eat Brooklyn Salsa, that’s why we’re gearing up to cross the country and explore internationally, creating dynamic blends based off the scenes and cultures we’re igniting. Every salsa we create will be specific to the market we are sold in and produced locally with Directly Sourced, Organically Mixed ingredients. That’s the deal. If you want The Brooklyn Salsa Company’s new blend from Copenhagen, but live on the West Coast, we’ll keep some in the warehouse for you to order at bksalsa.com and make sure you get your fix by the weekend. Wasabi / Carrot / Ginger and Coconut? Tomato / Fennel / Tamarind / Date? Lime / Tomatillo / Cucumber and Fresh Dill? We’re covering our bases. Salsa means SAUCE, and that’s what we make. BK Salsa goes on EVERYTHING, not just chips, not just tacos. The 5 Boroughs of New York City are the launch site, but The Brooklyn Salsa Company name will travel everywhere we go. Inspire more than an appetite.
