Gloria and Huémac Badilla of Chilttepica Products create fresh salsas and other products with flavorful chiltepín peppers. They were eventually able to get their salsas on the shelves at Costco, introducing thousands more to the unique pepper. In 2021, they were first named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy-certified business.
