Achiote Paste

El Yucateco Achiote Paste is a vibrant, aromatic seasoning that brings the authentic flavors of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula to your kitchen. Made from high-quality annatto seeds, spices, and tomatoes, this paste delivers a slightly nutty, sweet, and peppery taste with subtle hints of nutmeg. Traditionally used as the essential base for classic dishes like Cochinita Pibil (spicy slow-roasted pork), Achiote Chicken, and Tacos Al Pastor, it adds both a beautiful yellow-red color and a distinctive, savory depth to your meals.

Beyond meats, this versatile paste can also brighten up tamales, sauces, and even the traditional Chiapan drink tascalate. Try mixing it into marinades for grilled chicken or beef to infuse them with bold, exotic flavors. Whether you’re exploring authentic Mexican cuisine or simply want a unique twist in your cooking or cocktails, El Yucateco Achiote Paste is a must-have for adding rich, warm spice and vibrant color to your dishes and drinks.
