Achiote Paste & Concentrate

Achiote is an indispensable ingredient in Mexican cuisine. The deep red paste or aromatic concentrate is made from the seeds of the annatto tree and gives traditional dishes like pollo al achiote, puerco adobado con achiote, and pollo asado con achiote their characteristic color and unique flavor. In Mexico, it is also called pasta de achiote – a seasoning base that is equally popular for marinades, stews, and sauces.

In our online shop you'll find various types of achiote – as a paste or concentrate – perfect for recreating authentic recipes from Yucatán and all over Mexico. Simply buy achiote paste, combine it with meat, fish, or vegetables, and enjoy Mexican cuisine just like you would in Mexico.
