Masienda proudly partners with farmers on both sides of the border to grow, source and offer the most flavorful, nutritious and real ingredients possible. They believe that the best-tasting food is achieved through a relentless support of agricultural biodiversity, sustainability and independent farmers. This unparalleled supply chain is the backbone of Masienda Bodega, Masienda’s fully-realized vision of an exceptional tortilla, available to all. Their collective mission is to elevate the everyday tortilla through a return to its origins: Three ingredients. Fresh-pressed. No shortcuts.
