About The Owners
Grace and Cliff Newland always dreamed of creating their own food product, but they had no their 2013 anniversary trip to Mexico would inspire Mitla Tortilleria. While in a local’s home in Chiapas, Grace experienced the first corn tortilla she ever liked—it had a strong corn flavor and was very pliable. These tortillas were made using an ancient cooking process called nixtamalization where dry corn is cooked in lime and ground into fresh masa. While in Oaxaca, the Newlands also enjoyed fresh flour tortillas that were thin, crispy and unlike anything they’d had before. They returned home to Charleston, SC to their jobs in wholesale food production (Cliff) and public relations/marketing (Grace) with fond memories of authentic tortillas.
Fast forward to March 2015—Grace left the PR world and founded Mitla Tortilla Company, a wholesale tortilla company combining traditional cooking methods and simple, organic ingredients. She established a loyal following at Lowcountry farmers markets then opened wholesale shop in West Ashley and began selling to restaurants, food trucks, caterers, stores and others! All Mitla products received Organic Certification in 2017. A graduate of Johnson & Wales, Cliff joined the company full-time in May 2017 and brings more than 20 years of F&B experience to the family business.
Mitla relocated to Savannah, GA in November 2019 to increase production and expand within the Southeast.
