Product Review: Herdez Salsa

What has happened to me?

I once loved the Herdez Salsa Casera with such ardent affection. I always went with the hot version, having grown quite fond of the spicy flavor. I loved that the salsa had specks of onion, tomato, jalapeno and jalapeno seeds inside.

But, alas, over the years I have grown less and less fond of this particular brand of salsa.

The heat is less potent to me, even though its container indicates that it is a hot salsa. The flavor is not as full, even though it is heating with a hearty mesh of vegetables. And the flavor tastes more like vingear than the spicy sweet that I remember.

But I still buy it, thinking it must be me; must be a failing palate...that one day the once-vibrant flavor will return.
