Auntie T's Story
Founded in 2021 by Tanya Cegielski. Auntie T's Salsa vision came to be through the love and support of Tanya's friends, family and fans of her homemade salsas and peppers.
Currently, Auntie T's Salsa is based in Gaston, OR. However, the flavor profiles are based on her growing up with her Oaxacan step-father, along with her 23 year Phoenix, AZ residency and exposure to many different Mexican style salsas. Auntie T's salsa continues the traditional methods of the Mexican style salsas, while infusing her Italian roots into the flavor profile.
Tanya has been making salsa for over 30 years, leveraging the foundation her mother provided and expanding on mom's recipe to create new and tantalizing delicious salsas. She has spent many years researching different herbs, flavors and heat of peppers, resulting in delightful profiles of heat, spice and flavor in her salsas. Auntie T's salsa is about finding just the right level of heat, while still making flavor the number one priority, bringing a new and refreshing twist, sure to bring you back for more.
All salsas are made fresh, are pantry shelf sustainable, and do not use preservatives other than natural stability methods (citric acids and thermoprocessing.)
When it comes to fresh ingredients, Auntie T's passion is to support small businesses and farmers within our Willamette Valley region and we source produce and ingredients seasonally from such businesses. During the down season, we rely on local small business grocers and other "supermercados."
Auntie T's Salsa is currently found at regional Farmer's Markets, Wine Tasting Events, Source Farms and Lucky Dog LAser in Yamhill, OR, and various other events and shops. Please see our ATS Events page or our FB page, as we continue to expand the Auntie T salsa empire and are able to offer more locations to purchase our salsa and peppers.
In the meantime, you can always order via website, text, or email.
