In this class you'll learn all about the traditional salsas of Mexico.
Join us for our Traditional Salsas of Mexico workshop, hosted by Beba Silva.
Maria Silva is originally from San Luis Potosí, Mexico and has been in United States for many years. She worked for the State of Texas for nearly 20 years before finding her passion of creating and selling family’s original salsa recipe.
In the summer of 2013, Maria’s husband’s company had an Employee Appreciation Day which included a salsa contest. Maria did not enter, but her husband secretly rolled the dice entered her recipe on her behalf, and took first place. This is when Maria knew she had something to offer.
Shortly afterward co-workers and friends were requesting Maria’s salsa on a daily basis. So, she began to think about selling her salsa. In a moment of hesitation, her teenage daughter’s support propelled the project forward. (Thanks Madison!)
It was a Thursday when Maria sent 5 jars of salsa, price stickers included, to work with her husband. About an hour after his arrival, he called Maria to ask for 5 more jars… to be ready the next day! The following week, he left work with an order list of 20 jars. With every consecutive week the orders were growing. Today, Beba’s Pfresh Salsa is sold at farmers markets, Market Days, across Texas hill country, local grocery stores and now thanks to her son Kalen you can find Beba’s Pfresh Salsa on Amazon and at all HEB Central Markets in Texas!
Wondering where our name came from? Beba is Maria’s nickname. It is a term of endearment meaning “sweetheart”. her husband has called her “Beba” for their 23 years of marriage. Deciding to name our salsa Beba’s was simple. The Silva family lived in Pflugerville, Texas and Beba’s Pfresh was born. Even through our rapid growth we’ve continued to make our salsa “Pfresh” each week.
