At Summit Food Company, our journey began with a love for bold, honest flavor and a desire to create something real—starting with salsa. What began in our home kitchen quickly turned into a mission: to craft small-batch, all-natural salsas that bring real heat and fresh ingredients to tables across Texas.
El Picante isn’t just a product—it’s a statement. We use no preservatives, no shortcuts, and no artificial anything. Just clean, carefully chosen ingredients and recipes that highlight the natural flavor of every pepper, tomato, and spice. Made in Southlake, TX and rooted in tradition, El Picante was created for people who crave more from their salsa—more heat, more depth, and more authenticity.

The team behind El Picante is a passionate mix of flavor-obsessed creators, culinary thinkers, and detail-driven professionals—all united by a mission to make salsa that stands out. We may come from different backgrounds, but we share a common love for bold, honest food and a hands-on approach to quality.
El Picante was founded by a former corporate executive who left the boardroom behind to pursue a lifelong passion for food. What started as a homemade recipe shared with friends quickly evolved into a full-scale commitment to crafting premium salsa with purpose.
From testing new pepper blends to perfecting the texture in every batch, we're always refining and reimagining what great salsa can be. We listen closely to our customers and our community, and we’re proud to keep improving with every jar we make.
