Bobby Biggs Founder Papi Chulo Salsa http://papichulosalsa.com/

Papi Chulo Salsa is California’s only organic salsa, made in small batches with love. It’s fresh from their farmers to their kitchen to you. And for my money the BEST salsa around!! Originally in a select group of Bay area stores, the salsa can be purchased online and in West coast stores and shipped worldwide.
