For over six decades, chile has been our heritage – our pride and joy. As the pioneer in the industry, we have had many firsts: In 2014, we became the first company to be New Mexico Certified!  This means that when you see the Certified logo, you can be certain that you are getting 100% New Mexico grown Green Chile, New Mexico Hatch green chile, and frozen Hatch green chile. New Mexico Certified Chile™ is independently audited and certified by the New Mexico Chile Association.  In the 1950s, we were the first to flame roast and freeze green chile on a commercial scale. There was no equipment for this kind of process, so we had to build it. There was no process, so we had to invent it. And even though there have been many imitators since, Bueno Foods remains the industry leader in innovation and quality.
