Tortillas From Nixtamal
Traditional Flavor Meets Modern Production
As in corn tortillas, production of corn table tortillas can start with fresh corn cooked and ground, or with corn flour mixed with water at 50% each, or any percentage your own product needs.
At Casa Herrera, we honor tradition while embracing innovation. Our Corn Tortilla Systems are designed to support all methods of tortilla production, including the authentic process of making tortillas from nixtamal—fresh corn that has been cooked, steeped, and stone-ground into masa. Whether you choose to use 100% fresh nixtamal, a blend of nixtamal and corn flour, or masa made entirely from corn flour, our systems adapt to your formulation and production goals.
Flexible Formulations for Every Operation
Corn tortilla production doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all model. Casa Herrera equipment allows you to process:
- 100% Fresh Nixtamal Masa
For unmatched taste, texture, and authenticity rooted in centuries-old tradition. - Blended Masa (Nixtamal + Corn Flour)
Typically mixed 50/50 with water for optimal consistency—but adjustable to any ratio your recipe requires. - 100% Corn Flour Masa
For convenience, ease of storage, and modern production scalability.
Engineered for Quality and Versatility
Our Corn Tortilla Systems are built with high-grade stainless steel, durable components, and precision controls to ensure consistent output, whether you’re a small producer or a high-volume facility. Casa Herrera systems can be customized to handle varying masa types and consistencies while maintaining excellent sheeting, pressing, and baking performance.
