At Don Artemio, every blue corn tortilla begins its journey long before it reaches the comal. Our tortillas start with an heirloom blue corn variety grown in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
Through nixtamalization - slowly cooking the kernels in an alkaline solution, then rinsing and grinding them - we awaken the corn's aroma, improve its digestibility, and create masa that's richer and more vibrant than any unprocessed grain. The result are tortillas with a deeper corn flavor, gentle sweetness, and a warm aromatic finish in every bite.
