Loved from Ayden to O'ahu
Our salsa goes places.
Joanne carried our Habanero Mango Salsa all the way to a beach in O'ahu, Hawai'i — hibiscus and all. Hand-crafted in small batches in Eastern North Carolina, and enjoyed about as far from home as you can get.
Alarita salsa is enjoyed on O'ahu, Hawai'i!
Weeknight dinners
Dinner, handled.
One-pot, pantry-ready meals built for busy weeknights — and for camping, backpacking, and emergency food storage. Most just need water and heat; a couple come together with a pound of chicken or ground beef you already have on hand.
Our story
Named for Mom.
álarita is named for La Rita — Mom — who started cooking small-batch salsas in Eastern North Carolina in 2004. What began at the Pitt County Farmers Market, samples out (that's her), grew into a family pantry of salsas, pepper jellies, candied jalapeños, and skillet entrees, still made by hand in Ayden.

I bought the habanero mango sauce about two weeks ago and it is already gone. I love this sauce. I used it in a barbecue sauce and In curry, I think I could put this on everything. Just the right amount of sweet and hot, it says it on the label and I agree.

Alarita products are amazing !!! We love to use the Mango Habanero sauce mixed into bbq sauce to take it to the next level. Last Christmas we sent Alarita products to our kids up in NJ. They loved everything….of course !!!

If you ever felt a chance to try Alarita's salsas you will be hooked! My husband and I were at the Craven County holiday craft show yesterday. They had a booth there which immediately drew my husband in. Of course, we walked away with salsa and chips. This is the best salsa we have ever tried!

Just purchased the mango habanero salsa today, and I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the best gosh darn salsa I've ever had. It was amazing, first bite and boom the mango hit then the sweet heat of the habanero kicked in and lingered. Wife and I loved it, five stars
