Blanco Nino Roasted Pineapple Salsa 200g

A few years back, founder Phil set out on what would become quite a serendipitous journey across Mexico. Visiting the milpas, molinos and tortillerias of Mexico, Phil learnt how to make proper corn tortillas. Inspired by the tastes and traditions of Mexico, Phil returned to Ireland and in 2015, along with a great team, he opened the doors to the Tortilleria in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.

The sweet, slightly charred and caramelised pineapple is the star of this salsa. Perfectly balanced with the deep savoury onion and garlic, complemented with the tangy citrus notes from the lime juice and a wonderful kick of heat from the red Jalapeno chili.

Perfect with lightly salted tortilla chips, topped on some citrus ceviche or even a Baja fish taco.

While pineapple isn't native to Mexico, it has been part of the cuisine for a few centuries now. Mexico is now the one of the top producers of pineapple and is farmed predominately in Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, a state renowned for its stunning beaches, tropical weather and vibrant carnival.
