“Salsas del Sheriff” is a legacy of love and perseverance born from Jorge Salgado Zavala’s passion for the Western culture and his promise to protect something that represents the value of memory.

One day, at a garage sale in Salinas, California, US, Salgado found a sheriff figure that inspired the name of the “salsas” he had been preparing for several years. When he asked the 80-year-old woman selling it for the price, she refused to let it go: it was a gift she had given to her late husband when they were young, and it was the only memory she had of him.

Salgado then made an offer: he would take care of the figure and everything it represents, making sure to keep it in good hands after she was gone. And since then, that figure has become one of the most treasured items in Salgado’s collection.

In 1998, Jorge Salgado began his adventure in producing artisanal sauces in Huandacareo, Michoacán, Mexico, and in 2001, with the help of his sister Beatriz Salgado, he was able to expand this business to the Michoacán capital, Morelia, entering local stores and supermarket chains across the country. With the collaboration of his niece, they continue to honor the family legacy and ancestral Mexican cuisine, venturing into the US market in 2020, to the state of Texas.

“Salsas del Sheriff” is not just a business, but a demonstration of the dedication and effort that the Salgado family have put into every jar. It’s a story of love and commitment, fusing the Western culture and Mexican culinary folklore into a flavor that will endure as a legacy for future generations.”
