If you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine, you may be surprised to learn that the corn tortillas you love from your favorite restaurant may not be as authentic as you think. While mass-produced corn powder is commonly used, there’s a better option that has been around for thousands of years and is still widely enjoyed today.
Thanks to Emmanuel Galvan, the owner of Bolita Masa, we can now enjoy the magic of handmade corn tortillas that are truly authentic. By using fresh corn and an ancient science that has been part of civilization since the beginning, Galvan has created a product that is both delicious and steeped in history and cultural significance.
