In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the makers of HERDEZ® salsa, the No. 1 selling salsa brand in Mexico, proudly announce the launch of House of Heritage, an immersive experience celebrating Hispanic heritage, culture and the art of dipping salsa on October 10, 2024, at Chelsea Market in New York City’s Meatpacking District.
The House of Heritage by the makers of HERDEZ® salsa is a one-day-only, vibrant and interactive event that offers a museum-like experience, paying homage to Hispanic food culture, complete with the flavors and traditions of Mexican cuisine led by Michelin-starred Chef Cosme Enrique Aguilar; as well as a playful tribute to the art of dipping salsa. Furthermore, guests will enjoy art installations by regional Hispanic multimedia artists and nail art customization by Latina-owned Chillhouse spa.
Guests will be transcended into an elevated mercado, providing a sensory-rich immersion into traditions, tastes, and textures of everyday Mexican life that include:
House of Heritage Cooking Demonstrations
The HERDEZ® brand stands as a beacon of authenticity and quality in retail markets, offering a diverse range of products that capture the essence of Mexican cuisine. Michelin-starred Chef Cosme Enrique Aguilar (Casa Enrique, Quique Crudo, Cafe Henri) will host live cooking demonstrations pairing fresh produce and seasonings from local Hispanic vendors with HERDEZ® brand authentic Mexican salsas and cooking sauces. Guests will be guided through traditional and contemporary Mexican cuisine so they can easily recreate delicious dishes at-home, including the fan-favorite Spicy Street Corn Dip with HERDEZ® Roasted Salsa Verde Medium. The Spicy Street Corn Dip is the ultimate party food, perfect for game days, barbecues or casual get-togethers. Pair this dip with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or even use it as a taco topping. Its versatility makes it a go-to recipe for any occasion.
House of Heritage Dipiquette Tutorials
The HERDEZ® brand is more than just a salsa, guacamole and dip brand; it’s a lifestyle choice for those who crave genuine Mexican flavors. The makers of HERDEZ® salsa will introduce the brand’s very own Dipiquette Expert and social media personality Harry Hill to host entertaining tutorials on perfecting the art of the dip. The Dipiquette class will humorously demonstrate the technique and nuances of dipping salsa, reassuring guests that their love of salsa is not to be taken lightly.
