Featured PRODUCTS
As quality Mexican food becomes more
mainstream in the U.S., customers demand a
wider range of authentic spices to provide the
special flavors they remember.
Founded in 1969 in Mexico, Terana has been manufacturing and
merchandising its own brand for 40 years, always using high quality,
carefully selected raw materials. This year they launched a dehydrated
line in pouch bags, including black beans with chipotle,
refried beans with chipotle, red salsa and green salsa.
The basic line has four divisions: seasonings, spices, herbs and
chilies. These are available in four different presentations (glass
jar, plastic bottle, plastic bag and bulk).
The gourmet line includes unique spice blends––for meat, fish
or the Mexican mix of herbs and chilies that adds a special flavor—
in a glass jar with a two-position grinder cap.
The ready-mix line offers the perfect combination of spices for
favorite dishes such as guacamole, pico de gallo, fajitas or BBQ.
Almost all of Terana's products are Kosher certified by Ashkenazi
and Maguen David Communities. The company is audited
periodically by customers to fulfill their requirements.
Terana looks forward to learning about customers’ needs and
bringing them the real flavors of Mexico. For more information, call

Slap Ya Mama’s leading product
Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Season-All was the original product
that kick-started Walker & Sons, Inc. and got the company
off the ground 10 years ago. To this day, it remains at the top of
the totem pole as our number one selling product, and although
it has a few up-and-coming siblings chasing its coat tails, it is
growing at the same rate as the chase carries on.
The main reason for this is its wide array of uses and flexibility
across the kitchen. From steaks to eggs, French fries to pork
roasts and pastas to popcorn, this seasoning blend lends a helping
hand in every dish. With its mild heat and flavorful taste, you
can use this product to prep your dish before cooking, as a sprinkle
seasoning after, or both. As a dry rub or to spice up a marinade,
the applications are limitless. For more on this multi-use
product, visit our website at www.slapyamama.com and remember
to “Slap it, Eat it, Love it!”
What’s “hot” in the kitchens at Wind & Willow
In 2010, Wind & Willow announced a new product line, Hot
Dips. In just a year, it has already become their most successful
new product launch in their 17 years of existence. Clearly,
customers want big flavors and these are the dips that deliver.
The line launched with three original flavor profiles: Loaded
Cheddar, Spinach & Parmesan, and Southwest Queso. Last
summer, Wind & Willow expanded the line with Bacon Ranch
and their latest creation, Caramelized Onion & Pear.
Each mix is added to 8 oz. cream cheese and ½ cup sour
cream. The dip is then heated over the stove and served hot,
allowing the spices and seasoning to burst with flavor and giving
the consumers’ taste buds a medley of flavor profiles.
The Hot Dips join Wind & Willow's best known line, their delicious
Cheeseball Dessert/Appetizer mixes. This summer the
company introduced White Cheddar & Herb Cheeseball/Appetizer
mix, a blend of white cheddar cheese, onion and herbs.
