The 150 year Ortega tradition all started with Maria Conception Jacinta Dominguez Ortega, or as we like to call her, Mama. Mama Ortega. Mamas memorable cooking did more than just bring her family together. It was in Mamas kitchen that her 11th child, Emilio, established the Ortega Chile Packing Company. Emilios fascination with chilies began when he moved to New Mexico in 1890. Here he encountered the states popular big red chilies. When he returned home to California a few years later, he brought with him chili pepper seeds and many recipes for dishes he had grown to love while in New Mexico. Back home with his family at their adobe house in Ventura, California, Emilio planted the chili seeds. Those chilies grew extremely well in the temperature climate of Ventura. Soon Emilio had so many chilies he had to give them away. Everyone loved them! Thats when he knew he had something special. In 2003, B&G Foods purchased the Ortega brand. Like Emilio Ortega, B&G Foods has a long tradition of commitment to quality. So today, when a family picks up a can of chilies or a box of taco shells, they know they are getting the very best. This web site has been created to continue the rich heritage of the Ortega family. By sharing our collection of delicious Mexican recipes, we hope to help you create fond memories of great meals shared with your family.
