Being raised on the Left Coast my love developed early for Latin food and Mexican food specifically. The local food made with local produce and that freshly made salsa or guacamole was to die for. We often times would just camp out next to the table dipping chips into that salsa and guac. It’s been a long time since I had that feeling eating salsa (other than our frequent trips to the City of Angels). Well, our heart sings again when we first tried Ousely Ouch Salsa.

Their Story

Two decades ago, Ric and his sister Mona Ousley craved a salsa that they simply could not find anywhere.  So in true American fashion, they decided to make their own salsa.  After much experimenting and taste-testing, they finally created a salsa that perfectly piqued their palate.  They  take pride in their  salsa – its ingredients and their methods.  Ousley Ouch Salsa  has a thick and chunky texture which comes from the onions and jalapeno peppers which are diced by hand.  The jalapenos are grown locally on a farm in Nahville where at times the jalapenos are added to the batches within hours of picking.  Aside from the fresh onions and jalapenos, at least over a dozen herbs and spices are used to create the magical flavor that has family and friends saying, “Ouch!  I can’t stop eating!”
