This weekend we’re bringing Garnacha to BlanchFest.

We’ll have our salsas open for tasting, because the best way to understand what we do is to try them.

For us, salsa is not something you open once for tortilla chips and forget about. It belongs on eggs, tacos, burgers, potatoes, bowls, sandwiches, BBQ food, roasted veg, leftovers - anything that needs a bit more life.

That is what we want to share: a taste of Mexico that fits into everyday meals here in Ireland.

Find us at BlanchFest
Saturday 22 + Sunday 23 August
12-6pm daily
Millennium Park, Blanchardstown

Come taste, ask us what to put them on, and take a jar home for whatever you’re cooking next.

A lot of you have found us recently, so this one deserves a proper place on the feed.

This is the story behind Garnacha.

Andrea from Mexico. Andrew from Ireland. A house where salsa was always being made because the jars on the shelf never tasted like home.

Then Mexico happened properly. Six months travelling, eating, learning, going through markets, trying salsas, chillies, street food, home cooking, and getting married somewhere in the middle of it all.

Back in Ireland, we found the SuperValu Food Academy, started with a Chipotle and habanero salsas,and began building Garnacha one market, one shop visit, one conversation, one jar at a time.

Now we’re stocked in 200+ shops across Ireland, making more than six flavours, working on limited editions, foodservice, events, awards, and whatever comes next.

But the reason is still the same.

To share the love of Mexican food.

And to show that salsa is not just a nacho dip.

It is a condiment.
A cooking ingredient.
A spoonful of flavour that makes everyday food feel alive.

Gracias for helping us get this far.

Cuando me mudé a Irlanda, traje muchas cosas conmigo.

Mi acento, mis antojos, mi manera de cocinar, y esa costumbre tan mexicana de sentir que en la mesa siempre tiene que haber salsa.

No solo para los tacos. Salsa para los huevos en la mañana, para los frijoles, el arroz, las papas, la comida recalentada, el pan, las sobras, cualquier cosa que necesitara tantita vida.

Pero cada vez que intentaba comprar salsa aquí, algo me faltaba. No sabía a lo que yo conocía. No sabía a casa. No tenía ese sabor de la cocina de mi familia, de las mesas en México, de las salsas que se hacen con paciencia, con chile, con verduras de verdad y con esa intuición que una aprende viendo cocinar a los suyos.

Entonces seguĂ­ haciendo mi propia salsa.

Y poco a poco, Andrew también se fue enamorando de la comida mexicana. Primero con curiosidad, después con una obsesión muy seria. Probaba las salsas, me veía cocinar, me escuchaba hablar de los sabores que extrañaba, y de vez en cuando me decía jugando que tal vez debería venderlas.

En algĂşn momento, ese chiste dejĂł de ser chiste.

Nos fuimos a México y ahí todo terminó de acomodarse. Viajamos durante seis meses, comimos, aprendimos, caminamos mercados, probamos salsas, chiles, comida callejera, comida casera, cosas sencillas y cosas que todavía recordamos como si las hubiéramos probado ayer.

Y en medio de todo eso, también nos casamos.

Para mí, ese viaje fue volver a mirar mi país con otros ojos. Para Andrew, fue entender por fin todo lo que yo trataba de explicar cuando decía que la salsa no era un dip, que la comida mexicana era mucho más profunda, más generosa, más viva.

Cuando volvimos a Irlanda, Garnacha empezĂł de verdad.

Unos cuantos frascos. Unos cuantos mercados. MuchĂ­simas preguntas. MuchĂ­simo aprendizaje. Cajas cargadas a mano, fines de semana completos, tiendas que tocar una por una, gente probando la salsa por primera vez, y nosotros intentando explicar que lo que querĂ­amos compartir no era solo un producto.

Era un pedacito de México.

Hoy Garnacha está en más de 200 tiendas en Irlanda.

Y aunque eso nos llena de orgullo, el corazĂłn de todo sigue siendo el mismo.

Yo quería compartir la comida que extrañaba.

QuerĂ­amos hacer algo honesto, con sabor, con historia y con respeto por la cocina mexicana.

Queríamos traer un poquito de esa mesa mexicana a la vida diaria aquí en Irlanda, para quienes extrañan su casa y para quienes están descubriendo estos sabores por primera vez.

A todos los mexicanos en Irlanda que nos han comprado un frasco, nos han escrito, nos han recomendado, nos han encontrado en un mercado, nos han dicho “esto sí sabe a México”, gracias.

De verdad, gracias.

Porque cada vez que alguien reconoce ese sabor, sentimos que Garnacha tiene sentido.

Esta es nuestra historia.

De México a Irlanda, con mucho chile, mucho amor y muchas ganas de compartir lo nuestro.

This Saturday we’ll be at Explore Fingal Markets at Swords Castle, from 10am to 3pm.

We’ll have a proper Garnacha table: smoky Chipotle, bright Habanero, rich Peanut Salsa, our Blas finalist Salsa Macha, and the new small-batch Salsa Verde made with tomatillos Andrew grew himself.

Come over, have a taste, ask us what to do with the one you’re holding, and leave with something that will make your dinner less boring.

Local produce, street food, music, workshops, Swords Castle, and a few jars of Mexico made in Ireland.

See you Saturday.

Salsa Verde is here!!!!

Made with tomatillos Andrew grew in his polytunnel here in Ireland, with a lot of patience, a bit of stubbornness, and one summer that finally gave us the weather we needed.

The tomatillos came through tangy, bright, a little sweet, and full of that sharp green flavour that makes Salsa Verde so good.

We both worked on the recipe, but this is the kind of salsa Andrea grew up with in Mexico. The one that belongs on chilaquiles, enchiladas verdes, tacos, eggs, potatoes, EVERYTHING.

It is fresh, vibrant, properly green, and very easy to start putting on everything.

We only made what the tomatillos gave us, so this is a small batch.

Once it is gone, it is gone.

Order online at www.garnacha.ie, or keep an eye on our stories to see which market we’ll be at next.

Our Salsa Macha is a Blas na hÉireann Finalist 2026.

A Salsa Macha inspired by Mexico, made in Ireland, and now heading to Di**le.

This salsa is often linked to Veracruz, but the beautiful thing about Salsa Macha is that no two versions are exactly the same. Every kitchen has its way. More chilli, more garlic, more peanuts, more crunch, more oil, more fire.

Ours is dark, toasty, crunchy and a little dangerous in the best way.

Made with dried chillies, fried garlic, peanuts, oil, and one secret naturally sweet ingredient that brings everything together.

We made it mostly because we love it.

On eggs, tacos, rice, noodles, roasted veg, leftovers, or straight onto a warm tortilla.

And as far as we know, Garnacha is the first brand making Salsa Macha in Ireland.

Rooted in Mexico. Made in Ireland. Now we wait for Di**le, wish us luck !!🍀

Tomorrow we’re taking the jars to Malahide.

Malahide Food Market is back at the Casino Model Railway Museum Grounds, and we’ll be there with the Garnacha line-up open for tasting.

Local food, handmade bits, artisan stalls, model trains, and us making the case that salsa belongs on more than tortilla chips.

Eggs. Tacos. Burgers. Bowls. BBQ food. Roasted veg. Whatever you’re cooking after the market.

Saturday 8 August
Casino Model Railway Museum Grounds, Malahide
10am - 4pm

Come say hi, try the salsas, and stock up for the weekend.

I grew up with salsa as something that belonged to the table.

Not in the way people sometimes talk about salsa here, as a dip you open for tortilla chips and put away after the party. In Mexico, salsa is part of the meal before anyone explains it. It is already there, next to the eggs in the morning, beside the beans and rice at lunch, waiting for tacos, quesadillas, soups, grilled vegetables, leftovers, whatever is being served that day.

Some are bright and sharp, some smoky, some rich and deep. Every house has its way. Every family has the salsa they think is the best. And somehow, everyone is right.

That is what I love about salsa. It is simple, but it carries so much.

When we started Garnacha in Ireland, this is what I wanted people to understand. Salsa is not just something you dip into. It is something you live with. You cook with it, spoon it over food, pass it around, argue about which one is hotter, and put it back in the middle of the table.

Garnacha is made in Ireland, but it comes from the way I learned to eat in Mexico: with colour, heat, generosity, and salsa always close enough for one more spoonful.
