Ricos Gourmet Nacho Cheddar Cheese Sauce is a heritage product widely recognized as the original concession-stand cheese sauce. It features a blend of cheddar cheese and jalapeño peppers, designed for a smooth, pourable consistency ideal for chips, pretzels, and hot dogs.

The brand has a rich history tied to the popularization of nachos in professional sports. Frank Liberto, often cited as the 'father of nachos,' introduced the product at Arlington Stadium in 1976. Since then, Ricos has become a staple in cinema and stadium concessions globally. The product continues to be manufactured in the United States, maintaining the Liberto family's legacy in the snack food industry.

Today, the brand is owned and operated by Ricos Products Co., which remains a family-owned business headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Through strategic global distribution, the brand has expanded from stadium snacks to a retail favorite found in grocery stores worldwide.
