Blanco Nino Ancient Grain Blue Corn Tortilla Chips 170g

Blue corn
Blue corn and amaranth are ancient grains that have been held with reverence as staples of the Aztec diet for thousands of years. In homage to the communities and traditions that inspired our Tortilleria, we married together these grains creating a unique, subtly sweet and earthy flavour. We source amaranth from heritage farmers in Milpa Alta, meaning 'high corn field', which overlooks the ancient Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlan, known today as Mexico city.

Made the Aztec Way
We select the very best whole non-GMO corn, which we cook then steep overnight, before grinding into a dough called masa using our hand-carved, Mexican volcanic stones. An ancient process called Nixtamalisation. While still hot, this masa is shaped and baked into tortillas. We then leave the tortillas to rest overnight, before cutting and lightly frying them to become the most delicious, authentic tortilla chips.
It takes three days from start to finish, but we think it's worth the wait.

Inspired by Mexico
In pursuit of the perfect tortilla, I set out on what would become quite a serendipitous journey across Mexico. Visiting the milpas, molinos and tortillerias, I picked up a new nickname -Blanco Niño and learnt the secret to making truly authentic tortillas. It's this thousand-year-old recipe that inspired the chips you now hold in your hand.
While the Blanco Niño Tortilleria is based in Ireland, we owe our existence to the extraordinary people and history of Mexico. Our team is passionate about Mexican food and dedicated to doing the ancient Aztec recipe justice every day.
Traditionally Mexican. Unexpectedly Irish.
