Our Story

Made with Love, One Batch at a Time

Gilmen Foods started the way the best things do — at home, in the kitchen, for the people I love.

David Gilmen grew up surrounded by bold flavors and the belief that real food is made by hand, from ingredients you can trust. What began as homemade salsa for family and friends quickly turned into something bigger: a calling to share those flavors with the community at local markets.

Every jar of Gilmen salsa is made in small batches — never mass-produced, never rushed. We source fresh, quality ingredients and craft each recipe with care, so what you taste is exactly what I'd put on my families table.

Our Flavors

Salsa Macha — A rich, deep-flavored salsa inspired by the traditional Mexican oil-based sauce. Complex, smoky, and unforgettable. Really such a great garnish with whatever you eat, from chinese to mexican you are set. Try it on Pepperoni pizza 🫢🥵. 

Salsa Roja — Our classic red salsa, built on roasted tomatoes, dried chiles, and a balance of heat and brightness that works on everything from tacos to eggs.

Golden Habanero Salsa — Bright, and comfortably spicy. The golden habanero brings a tropical heat that wakes up any dish. Pears great with fish or grilled chicken. Try it with tortilla chips too.
