Old El Paso refrigerated guacamole blends come in mild and medium flavor profiles and are produced with high-quality Hass Avocados, tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeño, sea salt, lime juice and cilantro to create a homemade taste and chunky texture. Old El Paso cantina-style fresh salsas are made from premium-quality tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic. They are full of real flavors, gluten-free and have extended shelf life.
