From: Linda (Michigan) "My husband and I discovered Bisco's Italian Salsa a little over a year ago, And we both agree that this is one of the best salsa's we have ever tasted. Its great to finally eat a salsa thats thick and not runny. Even though we live out of state we are still able to enjoy Bisco's Italian Salsa by having it delivered to our door. I guess you can say we have become Bisco Italian Salsa addicts!" | |

From: Jerry (Woody) Woodard "Dan, I have been on tour caddying for 23 years. I've had Salsa on the West coast, East cost, South, North, you name it, Even in Mexico, but yours is the best I'm still convinced you put some addictive drugs in it, because I won't eat any other. Keep up the good work on making the "Getting There" cause I love it. And my kids love yours "Wimpy" Talk to you later PS) It taste great on hotdogs." Woody, LPGA Tour caddie and Bisco's Salsa Maker. | |

From: Debbie Kurek. "I have never really liked tomato products, especially salsa. My husband and I were celebrating our tenth anniversary in the Finger Lakes when we stopped at the Windmill. We were just about to leave when we came across the Biscos stand. The two Ladies there were just wonderful and so was the Salsa! We both tried each kind and had a hard time deciding which one to buy. they gave us more samples to help us make up our minds. we bought the middle of the road "Gettin There". we brought it home and we have now ordered six more jars! Dan has been so nice and helpful through the ordering process. This product comes highly recommended by a non-salsa person." Thanks Debbie Kurek | |

From: Anna Fredericks. "Subject: I'm addicted! So, after the Off-Ice Official picnic I have bought like 3 jars of your salsa (with extra garlic.) I must eat it about 2 times a week. It's ridiculously addictive! I plan on buying a few to take with me to my sister and brother-in-law in Virgina. I'm sure they will love it! I never liked salsa but, I'm a scooper now! :) It's great with melted Velveeta cheese! See you in the Fall! (Anna Fredericks) | |
| From: Albany Times Union. "Mama mia, that's a spicy salsa! By Doug Blackburn Albany Times Union Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.28.2004 advertisement ALBANY, N.Y. - Those of you who think salsa is exclusively a Mexican-American condiment obviously don't know Dan Corsaro. Better known as "Bisco," a nickname he was given as a toddler, Corsaro makes Italian salsa. "I gave salsa my own approach, an Italian twist," Corsaro says. "I'm full-blooded Italian by birth, so why would I make any other kind of salsa? Most Mexican salsas are pretty runny. Mine's semi-chunky. I've had people tell me they've sat down and eaten a whole jar while watching a movie on TV." Bisco's (pronounced BEES-co) Italian Salsa comes in four flavors of intensifying degrees of heat. It starts with Wimpy and concludes with Look Out. You don't need a thermometer to figure out which are the mildest and hottest in the group. Corsaro started his food business four years ago in his home in Pine City, N.Y. A prison guard until he injured his right knee, Corsaro took a disability retirement at age 43. He didn't know what to do with himself. He knew he liked to cook, and his homemade salsa received gushing compliments whenever he made a batch and brought some to a party. "I've always liked to cook with tomatoes and peppers, and I couldn't find a salsa I really liked," Corsaro says. "My dad and I had some real hot peppers left over that nobody wanted, and we put them together to make our own salsa. It turned out so good we kept making it for friends and family." Working with the food scientists at Cornell University's campus in Geneva, N.Y., Corsaro created a specific recipe for his salsas that enables him to produce it in large batches. He has gone from making 21 pints at a time in his home kitchen to 360 jars in a day. He now makes and bottles his salsa at Capabilities, a workplace in Elmira, N.Y., for people with disabilities. Corsaro, who sells his salsas primarily at festivals and at a few Finger Lakes wineries, has been having a rough go of it physically. He has a low-grade malignant tumor on the tip of his spinal cord and last year had three pieces of vertebrae removed. He finds it difficult to be on his feet for long stretches and last year missed the Harvest Festival in Albany for the first time since he started Bisco's. Family members and friends donate their time to assist Corsaro during production days at Capabilities. "Whenever the salsa's getting made, I'm there, taking tests, keeping a log book and making sure we're getting the products we want," Corsaro says. "I'm real lucky. I have a great crew of helpers." Sixteen-ounce jars of Bisco's Italian Salsa sell for $4 Corsaro recently began selling his salsas on the Internet. For more information, visit www.biscossalsa.com online. | |
