About Us

We started Montana Tamale Company about 7 years ago.   We both grew up making tamales with our Mother’s and Grandmother’s.  We knew that tamale making was quickly becoming a lost art.  We have taught our children to make tamales, and we hope that they pass this skill on to their children too.   

Our USDA kitchen is leased from the Colstrip School District.  We are in the former Isabel Bills Elementary School.  This school was closed and consolidated with the other 3 Colstrip schools.  The school leases out each individual room as offices, and it is now called the Isabel Bills Community Center. Each of the former classrooms are leased out and have become offices.

Most tamale manufacturers use tamale making machines.  We make each tamale entirely by hand, we don’t just tie by hand. These are large tamales with only one end folded over.

Our kitchen here in Colstrip employs 5 excellent tamale makers.

They would make my Nana proud!

Our goal as a company, is to exceed your expectations!!!!
