What does salsa criolla mean? • Salsa criolla has a more straightforward explanation for its name. • Salsa means “sauce” in Spanish and criolla means “creole.” • Argentina is a country of immigrants from Spain, Italy, and other parts of Europe. • Los criollos were people of European descent (primarily Spanish descent) born in Argentina and thus, the sauce is named after them. • Today, it’s considered the “salsa of Argentina.” www.buenaondafoods.com
