Item Description
12 Dozen Tamales, delivered to you in Napa County
Today, no celebration in the Hispanic community is complete without a proper showing of tamales. Families argue over who makes the best tamales, and friendly rivalries abound. Now, here is your chance to be the lucky recipient of TWELVE DOZEN tamales, made by Calistoga’s favorite tamale chef, Pilar Lopez. You’ve never really had a tamale, if you haven’t had the tamales that Pilar makes….cheese, pork, chicken, why… she’ll even make them vegetarian if you wish! Choose to have your tamales twice or three times this year, or get them all at the same time for a huge family celebration or other special occasion.
Pilar is the beloved sister of Calistoga Family Center Program Director Indira Lopez. Thanks to her, you and your family can enjoy her wonderful creations, and celebrate your own “tamalada”, where coming together to enjoy wonderful food is the very foundation of all things family.
Did you Know:
Tamales can be traced back to as early as 7000 B.C. in Pre-Columbian history, when the Aztec women were taken along in battle as cooks for the army. There was a need to have a portable and sustainable food, and the tamales could be made ahead of time, packed and warmed as needed.
Later, the Aztecs learned to steam tamales in underground pits from the Spanish conquistadores. When steaming the tamales, the Aztecs believed that the tamal sticking to the bottom of the pot was a sign of good luck, and would protect them from the dangers on the battleground.
Item Special Note
Tamales will be delivered in Napa County, or may be picked up at the Calistoga Family Center. Winner receives a total of twelve dozen or 144 tamales, and may have these divided into 1, 2 or 3 deliveries.
