Bring the rich, earthy taste of the Yucatan Peninsula to your cooking with El Yucateco Achiote Paste, a 100g block of authentic achiote seasoning. Made from ground annatto seeds blended with spices and tomatoes, this paste is a culinary staple in Mexican and Central American cooking. Achiote, a seasoning with deep cultural roots in Mayan cuisine, offers a distinctive flavour and natural red hue that will make your dishes unforgettable.

Perfect For: El Yucateco Achiote Paste is ideal for marinating meats like pork, chicken, and beef, lending a traditional taste to recipes such as cochinita pibil, tacos al pastor, and grilled meats.

How to Use: To prepare, dissolve a small portion of the paste in citrus juice, vinegar, or water, creating a flavourful marinade. For a richer taste, mix the paste with orange juice and spices, then marinate your choice of meat for a few hours before cooking. Use approximately 25-50g of paste for each pound of meat, adjusting to taste.
