About the ProductsMojo Picon (Spicy Mojo Sauce)
Mar de Nube ~ Tegueste, Tenerife, Canary Islands
This traditional mojo, or sauce, is made from peppers, vinegar and garlic. It is typically served cold and is ideal with meat or fish tapas, and grilled dishes. Mojos can be red or green, mild or spicy, as is this Mojo Picon. Serve this sauce as Canarians do - with a meal, or serve it with home-fried potatoes or patatas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes)!
Set of 4 Artisanal Salts
Mar de Nube ~ Tegueste, Tenerife, Canary Islands
With the abundance of fisheries on the islands, salt was used to preserve the freshness of fish. Now it’s an ingredient that mimics the natural bounty of the islands. The 4 locally-sourced flavors make this pack of salts a treasure! Sal con Limon (lemon), Sal con Carbon Activo (volcanic carbon), Sal con Guindilla (Chili), and Sal Marina (Virgin Salt.)
