From Harvest to Table: The Story of the LA VICTORIA(®) Brand, takes viewers on a journey that begins when the La Baca family immigrated to Los Angeles from Mexico, to the kitchen tables of families across the western United States; it is the journey of how salsa has become a staple on American tables. NBC4's station host, Jessica Vilchis, guides viewers through the evolution of LA VICTORIA(®) brand's product line, starting with the customer-favorite, LA VICTORIA(®) SALSA BRAVA(®) hot sauce, up to the current offering of a wide variety of salsas, taco sauce, enchilada sauce, chiles and tortillas. The segment is produced by the station's integrated sales production team.
"We are so proud to share the story of LA VICTORIA® Brand with our fellow Southern Californians," said Marshall Wolesky, Senior Brand Manager for LA VICTORIA® Brand. "When the La Baca family immigrated to Los Angeles and began jarring their family recipe in 1917, they could have only dreamed that it would become such a legacy in Los Angeles and around the Western United States. MegaMex Foods, LLC is proud to continue the tradition of offering fresh, bold flavors of Mexican cuisine to consumers. We are also very proud to work with local farmers to keep this tradition alive in California, where it all began."
