Vermont Tortilla Company was founded in 2015 by April and Azur Moulaert, food loving ecologists turned food producers. We have always had a passion for food, and for foods that are products in a sustainable manner. During our annual trips to Mexico we discovered that we loved corn tortillas made from corn grain, and that we could not find anything like this in Vermont. A light went off- why don't we bring delicious organic corn tortillas to Vermont. First we had to figure out how to make them. We discovered that others had similar ideas and that there were a handful of tortillerias in the United States that prepare organic corn tortillas from nixtamal. Nixtamal is corn that has been cooked and soaked in a mixture of water and food grade lime to break down the pericarp of the corn. The corn is then ground and made into tortillas.
