Mi Tierra Tortillas are a brand of Organic Corn Tortillas founded in New England in 2014 by Michael Doctor & Jorge Sosa.
Tortillas are circles of ground corn mixture that is a type of flat bread. They can be used in a wide variety recipes & cuisines. Also they have a long and interesting history with the people throughout the Americas.
The dark yellow of our corn comes from the colder climate that the corn is grown in. The organic corn variety is Dent Corn which is what causes the small black spots to show up throughout the tortilla. This is in contrast to whiter corn tortillas that are grown in different climates.
Our organic corn tortillas are made through a process called Nixtamalization. All the growing & productions of our product happens right in the Pioneer Valley!
Our neighbors grow the corn here in the Connecticut River Valley. If they are out of fresh corn, we will sometimes buy from our friends in NY. Here’s a video of owner Michael talking more about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92BApe_rhh4
