![]() Sarchí's award-winning products are the creations of Guido Aguilar. All of his Sarchí products reflect his Costa Rican heritage, and were developed for daily use in his restaurant for more than three decades.
Loved by millions, Guido's Sarchí salsa is made from the finest and freshest ingredients available, and contain no preservatives or artificial ingredients of any kind. When Guido's Sarchí Salsa is sampled for the first time, the same question is always asked: "How do you make it taste so fresh? This tastes like you just made it!"
The confidence of Guido's customers was again validated when his products won several awards in the 1998 Food Distributor Magazine Annual Superior Product Awards Competition: Salsa and Hot Sauce Shoot-Out! (The products were entered under the developmental name of Guido's Gourmet Salsa, Guido's Salsa Verde and Guido's Fire Sauce. While our products were under development, market studies indicated a tendency on the part of some consumers to confuse Guido's name with Italian food products. Thus began our search for a more appropriate, less confusing name. . . and Sarchí was the winner!). Here are the results of the competition: Guido's Gourmet Salsa (Hot) - SECOND PLACE Guido's Salsa Verde - SECOND PLACE ![]() The national competition was held in July at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Boca Raton, Florida. More than 600 products from over 80 manufacturers were vying for top prizes in specific categories split into various heat levels. The panel of more than 100 judges was comprised of a cross section of the specialty food industry with retailers, buyers, manufacturers and distributors casting their votes through a blind taste test. Food Distributor magazine (FDM) is a 39-year old, national publication headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. FDM is a leading publication in the specialty food industry and is read by over 24,000 specialty food retailers, food distributors, grocery chain food buyers and specialty food personnel each month.
