El Pato

Authentic Globe Cheese Boat recipes call for the inclusion of the yellow can El Pato canned salsa.  El Pato is famous for a reason and is has a heck of a pedigree. El Pato was the first American salsa to travel over the border to be sold in Mexico. The Hispanic community has relied on El Pato’s Mexican-style hot sauce as a cooking base for over 80 years. El Pato was the first and remains the largest user of Cascabel Chiles in the world.

El Pato is produced by Walker Foods in the Heart of Los Angeles. Founded in 1904 by James Walker, Walker Foods has remained a true family business ever since. The current company President is Robert Walker, James’ grandson, and many of its employees have been with the company for over 20 years.

Yes, El Pato may cost a little bit more these days but it's THE ONLY TRUE SALSA for Globe Cheese Boats. All purists agree--it's yellow can El Pato ALL The Way!

Here's a link to El Pato's history.  There's a fun video embedded in the webpage:
