Double Take Salsa
🌶️ FLAVOR first, 🔥 HEAT second
The best craft salsa
Founded by Bernie Dahlin, Double Take Salsa started with a backyard tomato plant and grew into a nationally recognized brand. Their motto is “Flavor first, heat second,” and they specialize in small-batch salsas and hot sauces made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Popular products include Machismo Chipotle Salsa, Peachy Keen, and Scotch Bonnet Mustard. They’ve even been featured on Hot Ones.
Why We Love Them
Brings in the Heat to Minnesota
We’re all about flavor that surprises and delights, and Double Take Salsa delivers every time. Their “flavor first, heat second” philosophy means every jar is a journey—from backyard tomatoes to national acclaim. We love their creativity, their local roots, and their dedication to small-batch excellence.
Meet the Maker
Bernie Dahlin
Double Take Salsa, proudly rooted in Minnesota, has grown from a local passion project to a beloved national brand.
Despite our success and expansion, we remain committed to our small-batch roots and local charm.
Our story began with a single tomato plant in our backyard, which quickly grew to fifteen tomato plants and thirty hot pepper plants.
As we perfected our salsas and hot sauces, our founder Bernie Dahlin realized he had to share his creations with fellow salsa enthusiasts.
