Product Description

Size: 3.5 oz

Achiote is a Yucatan-style sauce from ground annatto seeds, spices and tomatoes. Delicious achiote. ACHIOTE OR CONDIMENTED ANNATTO The condiment Annatto or Achiote El Yucateco, is precisely made with annatto seeds of excellent quality, used to give color, and of course as an excellent seasoning, grown in the humid tropical weather of the Yucatan Peninsula in the southeast of Mexico. It is traditionally used as seasoning in the famous Yucatecan and Central American dishes, mainly those influenced by the MAYAN CULTURE. It is ideal to marinate or to prepare grilled or roasted beef, chicken and the most famous Cochinita Pibil. El Yucateco Annatto or Achiote has two displays of these excellent products: the traditional paste and the newness liquid. No coloring added. HOW TO USE ACHIOTE It's really easy to prepare! You can dilute 1 OZ of paste with ½ of cup of vinegar or 50 ml of liquid annatto. Ready to use! You can marinate and seasoning 1kg of beef, pork, chicken or fish.

4.0 out of 5 starsperfect for porc taco!
By Sonja Jamison on February 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
I love this spice mix for my pork tacos: line a crockpot with banana leaves, pop in a pork shoulder (skin removed), pour over 100g Yucateco anchiote mixed with 1/2 cup lime juice and a sliced onion. Cook on high for 6 hours, turn to low til ready to use. Pull meat off into corn tortillas with a bit of the sauce (which can be thickened with yucca) and pickled cabbage-- YUM! I reuse old jars (jam, pickle, mayonnaise)to store the unused spice.

2.0 out of 5 starsFlavorful, but difficult to store and use
By Smart Shopper on July 16, 2009
I had been using this product to make homemade Nicaraguan chorizo. This product is indeed flavorable and authentic. However, I found that it dries out and hardens before I have the chance to use all of it, even if kept in the plastic bag it's packaged in and then sealed inside a Tupperware container. For this reason, I now order annatto (achiote) powder instead, and add additional flavorings to it, according to a recipe in one of my Nicaraguan cookbooks. I figure I can't get more authentic than to use a cookbook that was published in Nicaragua (not here in the States) and use the exact ingredients the recipe calls for. I can also control the ingredients to avoid unnecessary preservatives and such.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest paste for that Mexican flavor
By M. Pritchard on February 18, 2008
Size: 3.5 oz
When I went to Cancun for vacation the flavor of the meats and poultry had this distinct flavor that I truly enjoyed. When I came home I researched to find the flavor so I could make it at home. This is it and it gives great flavor to Steak and chicken. You don't need the entire package to marinade your food. I add lemon juice, salt and olive oil - Mix and maybe half or a quarter of the spice...and your food will have an authentic Yucatan flavor. Mild and not overbearing !!

5.0 out of 5 starsEl Yucateco has the flavor...
By Patrick J. Salem on December 10, 2013
Size: 15 oz Verified Purchase
I first encountered this brand of Achiote Paste in the kitchen of an old Mexican woman in the city, but I couldn't find it in any of the bodegas or supermercados. The pastes I did find just weren't quite the same so I was pleased to find it here. Everyone loved the taste after I basted and roasted a whole chicken in it (with some vinegar, jalapenos, and orange juice). Glad to find it here.

By Don on April 20, 2016
Size: 3.5 oz Verified Purchase
The order went smoothly and it was delivered as agreed. My wife was cleaning the cupboards the day after it arrived and she pitched it because she didn't know what it was, so I can't comment on quality. My wife does that with anything - if she doesn't know what it is, it's gone. She does that with my tools too. If she can't imagine a use for it, it's gone.

5.0 out of 5 starsI like the flavor.
By Mike on October 8, 2015
Size: 15 oz Verified Purchase
I like it. It's different. The first time I made it i wasn't sure I liked it. The last few times I made it I used it for Brussels Sprouts sauce. It makes a nice red gravy.
I added some to my juallio ( sorry cant spell it) pepper sauce and it blended well.
I'm getting my second order, now.
I keep it in a mason jar and it keeps for months.
