Specialty Foods & Co-Packing
Authentic Mexican Food Products for US & UK Brands
We connect US and UK boutique food brands with premium, shelf-stable Mexican producers — handling export compliance, quality vetting, and cross-border logistics so you can bring authentic products to market without managing a supply chain inside Mexico.
The Market Opportunity
Demand for authentic, artisanal Mexican food products in the US and UK is growing at a pace that far outstrips the supply of brands capable of sourcing them reliably. Specialty grocery retailers, natural food distributors, and premium e-commerce platforms are actively seeking products with genuine provenance — but most US and UK brands lack the in-country relationships and logistics infrastructure to source directly from Mexican producers.
Perez Tobie's position on both sides of the border makes us a natural bridge. We vet producers in-country, manage export documentation, and deliver finished white-label or private-label product to your US or UK warehouse — ready for your packaging and distribution.
Because these are shelf-stable finished products rather than custom formulations, the timeline from first conversation to first shipment is measured in weeks, not months.
Product Categories
Authentic Mexican Vanilla Extract
Pure Extract · Papantla, Veracruz · Kosher · FSSC 22000 · ISO 9001
Mexico is the birthplace of vanilla cultivation. Authentic Mexican vanilla — grown in the Papantla region of Veracruz — commands a significant premium over synthetic or Madagascar-origin vanilla in the US and UK. The flavor profile is distinctly different: smoother and rounder, with subtle spice notes that make it particularly prized by artisan bakers, chocolatiers, and premium food brands.
We broker pure Mexican vanilla extract from established Veracruz producers with decades of export history and full government recognition for export quality. Certifications include Kosher, FSSC 22000, ISO 9001, and SMETA ethical trade audit. Available in bulk for food manufacturing or in retail-ready bottles for private-label programs targeting the specialty food and gourmet market.
Because you are dealing with a certified, infrastructure-backed producer rather than a small cooperative, lead times and quality consistency are predictable — a critical factor for brands scaling into retail distribution.
Available formats: bulk (food manufacturing), retail bottle (private-label). Single-fold and double-fold concentrations available. Full traceability and no artificial additives.
Salsa Macha & Authentic Mexican Hot Sauces
Oil-Based Condiment · Shelf-Stable · FDA-Registered Facility · Co-Packing Available
Salsa macha is one of the fastest-growing specialty condiments globally — an oil-based, crunchy chili sauce that delivers a long shelf life, low shipping risk, and strong retail margins. It is appearing on the shelves of Whole Foods, specialty importers, and premium online retailers across the US and UK at a pace that far outstrips available supply from authentic Mexican producers.
We represent co-packing capacity from an FDA-registered facility in Mexico that has been operating since 2006 and already exports to the US, Canada, and Australia. This is not a commodity sourcing arrangement — we are selling manufacturing access. US and UK brands that want to capitalize on the salsa macha trend but cannot navigate cross-border food production can come to us for a fully vetted, turnkey co-packing solution under their own label.
Oil-and-chile-based products are straightforward to certify Kosher, making this category accessible to a wide range of specialty food buyers.
Available formats: glass jar, retail-ready. Custom formulation and private-label programs available. MOQ and lead times on request.
Artisanal Sea Salt & Finishing Salts
Colima Pacific Coast · Inherently Kosher · Microplastic-Free · Trace Mineral Rich
Colima sea salt, harvested by traditional salineros from the Cuyutlán lagoon on Mexico's Pacific coast, is among the most distinctive finishing salts available in the global specialty food market. Because it filters through an ancient dry lagoon, it is naturally purified and free of microplastics — a provenance story that resonates strongly with health-conscious US and UK consumers.
The US market is already familiar with premium trace-mineral salts (Celtic Sea Salt, Himalayan pink salt), and Colima salt is beginning to appear in the same premium channels. We broker bulk importing of this salt to specialty spice blenders, high-end restaurant suppliers, and health-food distributors — and can develop custom infusion profiles (chili, botanical, citrus) for private-label programs.
Pure sea salt is inherently Kosher, and specific Colima exporters explicitly market their product as Kosher-certified, making this category accessible to a wide range of specialty and natural food buyers.
Available formats: glass jar, kraft pouch, gift tin, bulk bag. Custom infusion profiles available for private-label programs.
White-Label and Private-Label Programs
We offer two program structures depending on your brand's needs. Under a white-label arrangement, you apply your branding to an existing, proven product formulation — the fastest path to market with the lowest development cost. Under a private-label arrangement, we work with the producer to customize the recipe, flavor profile, or format to your specification before applying your branding.
Both programs include export documentation, US or UK customs compliance support, and delivery to your designated warehouse. We can also coordinate third-party lab testing for any product entering the US or UK market.
