Ancient Methods
Yoli Tortilleria prides itself in producing the best quality stone ground corn tortillas. Our tortillas are crafted utilizing the ancient method of nixtamalization, where the corn is cooked with food grade lime.
After rinsing, the cooked corn is stone ground using hand-carved volcanic stones resulting in a soft and finely ground masa.
This masa is then run through our tortilla oven and the result is a quality tortilla with superb flavors.
