Ithaca Hummus Announces New Fire Roasted Salsas

Ithaca Hummus, the crave-worthy hummus brand known for its fresh ingredients and bold flavors, announces its Fire Roasted Salsas, a trio of salsas with a smoky punch, launching the brand into a new category of zesty dips. Available in Mild, Medium and Hot!, each savory Fire Roasted Salsa delivers a zingy brightness and the same clean ingredients consumers know and love about the brand in a flavor-packed tomato-based dip.

Filling the void for fresh salsa with a homemade taste, Ithaca uses a fire roasting technique to bring out the crisp taste and smoky sweetness of each tomato while creating a unique profile comparable to a tableside, made-to-order salsa. Each of the three varieties are made with real chopped, diced, and squeezed ingredients including fire roasted tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt and vinegar – without the preservatives and additives typically found in store bought fresh salsa options. Whether looking to level up snacking or mealtime, the Fire Roasted Salsas offer a bold, spicy addition to any chip, rice bowl, or tortilla, raising the bar on fresh flavors.

Details include:

• Mild Fire Roasted Salsa – the modest variety of the group, combining smokiness and freshness in every bite
• Medium Fire Roasted Salsa – a fiery middleman with a subtle kick, raising the bar and the heat
• Hot! Fire Roasted Salsa – the hottest of the three, the addition of habanero peppers delivers a spicy oomph for those looking to take the fiery plunge

“Salsa is a classic dip that has been around for years, yet the market is traditionally dominated by heavily preserved fresh options,” said Chris Kirby, CEO and Founder of Ithaca Hummus. “We’ve long sensed consumer demand for a less processed option, and we’re thrilled to catapult our brand into the salsa category, building on our commitment to elevated flavors and ingredients. At Ithaca, we take pride in delivering quality dips made with only real, recognizable ingredients – without additives or preservatives you don’t want or need – and we could not be more excited to bring our new salsas to your table.”

Ithaca Hummus Fire Roasted Salsas are plant-based, vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free and contain no artificial ingredients. As an alternative to chemical preservatives, Ithaca controls the food safety of its products using a process called High Pressure Processing (HPP), helping to preserve the nutrients and flavor of each ingredient.
