About Kathleen Hallinan Mueller:
Kathleen, the founder and owner of Sabor de Salsita, a small local salsa business. She lives mostly in the Hudson Valley but travels to and from Mexico for months at a time. While living in Mexico in 2017 with her aunt in Guadalajara, Kathleen traveled to many states and small villages where she was continually inspired by the craftsmanship of handmade goods and the food that differed from place to place. She cooked extensively with her Mexican raised aunt and always is partaking in cooking classes or kitchens on her travels. Being apart of the kitchen in Mexico is the best place to be.

Her passion for authentic Mexican food stems from the flavors that surrounded her throughout her childhood growing up in a predominantly Latino town in Northern California. Her passion for food and connecting to people has been her inspiration to start a salsa company based here in the Hudson Valley. Sourcing the best ingredients and using as much local produce as possible, each jar of salsa is made by hand in the traditional way she learned from her family, friends, and home chefs in Mexico.

Kathleen hopes to share her enthusiasm for authentic Mexican cuisine and the flavors of Mexico that are carried through in these recipes.
