MexGrocer El Yucateco Achiote Paste (100g)

Great taste used it for a quick marinate for burritos

5stars

I used this in tacos el pastor and to make some sazon, it worked well in both, adding a depth of flavour to the taste in both. Although it smells quite strong it is not too hot when added into a mix as directed, overall good value for money.

This is literally the BEST ingredient if you want delicious pulled pork. Mix this block in a blender with orange juice, pepper, salt, oregano, mixed spice, and cumin. Then spread the marinade all over a 2-3kg joint of pork shoulder, leave overnight then cook in the oven on 160 for 3-4 hours. The result is delicious pull apart pork with a 'next level' flavour!!

Delicious base for my conchinita pibil recipe

Good value for money brings back memories of home taste amazing I made stew beef with hot Caribbean Jonny cakes 😋 if you're into taste of central America and Mexico this will get your taste buds going.I will definitely send for more thank again you don't disappoint

Save yourself time by buying the achiote paste instead of annatto seeds. They are as hard as a brick and a pain to prepare. This makes preparation of cocinita pibil a walk in the park. Great flavour and colour, this is the real deal. Very much recommended.

I followed a friend recipe and achiote was one of the ingredients, I didn’t get very flavoured meat, will try next time with different brand
