ORANGE, Calif., May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of the HERDEZ® Brand, the No. 1 salsa brand in Mexico, are proud to announce a new partnership with renowned celebrity chef, Marcela Valladolid, best known as co-host of Emmy-nominated Food Network show, "The Kitchen," and author of new cookbook Casa Marcela.
