Tlaxcalli is the word for tortilla, or ‘flat, baked, thing”, in Nahuatl, known historically as Aztec, Moehler explained to me. Bio-Company is a supermarket that specialises in organic products, operating over fifty stores in Germany. Tlaxcalli also have customers outside of Germany, a taqueria in Portugal places large orders with them every few weeks, about half their total production, Moehler said. Jahke and Moehler arrived at their local organic product through many test versions which initially just began with corn flour.
