Big Acres'Sauces Introduces Two New Flavors!

Melanie's been busy in the kitchen again ?just to bring you two new flavors: Big Acres Milagro Mole and Big Acres Mango Peach Chile Sauce. More below on these products, along with a history of mole, our latest stores, upcoming events, and wonderful summer recipes!

Two New Products!

What is Mole?
"Mole" (pronounced mo-leh) is believed to be the Aztec word for sauce and is considered the national dish of Mexico. Offered in numerous styles and flavors primarily in the Mexican States of Oaxaca and Puebla, Moles are a blending of dried chiles, seeds, nuts, fruits, vegetables, spices, and Mexican chocolate. Most moles contain more than 20 ingredients.

Big Acres Milagro Mole is a miraculous rich red sauce that works well with chicken, pork or turkey and can be served hot over rice with meat or vegetables. Try it on your enchiladas or tacos too! The 12.5-ounce bottle is perfect for quick weekday meals and weekend entertaining.

Now, for a Fruity Treat. . .
Our new Big Acres Mango Peach Chile Sauce is packed with chunks of mangos and peaches, green Serrano chiles, onions, red bell peppers, herbs and spices. This sauce is sweet, savory and just a little spicy. Try it over rice with fish or chicken; use it as a glaze for shrimp or scallops; serve it warmed over grilled pork chops; sauce up your fish tacos. You’ll love it!

Of course all of our products contain only all-natural ingredients and are free of preservatives, MSG, dairy and other additives. Milagro Mole and Mango Peach Chile Sauce join the Big Acres Sauces line that also includes our Chipotle Peanut Sauce, Teriyaki Marinade, Hot & Spicy Barbeque Sauce and Rich & Mild Barbeque Sauce.
