AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FLAVOUR – El Yucateco Achiote Paste is a classic ingredient from Mexico’s Yucatán region, traditionally used in dishes like Cochinita Pibil (slow-cooked pork) and Pollo Asado (grilled chicken). It’s how home cooks and chefs bring bold flavour and vibrant colour to everyday meals.

HOW TO USE: To activate the paste, dilute with vinegar or olive oil and add salt to taste. Use as a marinade for meat, poultry, paneer, or vegetables. Ideal for grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. One 100g pack is sufficient for marinating up to 3 kg of ingredients.

NATURALLY COLOURED – Made with annatto seeds, it lends a rich red hue to your food. Completely natural and free from artificial colours.

DEEP, EARTHY FLAVOUR – A deeply aromatic, earthy red paste made from annatto seeds and traditional spices, widely used in Yucatán cuisine for its smoky, slightly tangy taste.

VEGETARIAN – Contains no meat or animal-derived ingredients. Suitable for vegetarian diets.

VERSATILE USAGE – Unlike hot sauce, this is a cooking paste—Mexico’s version of a masala—used to marinate meats, seafood, vegetables, or paneer. Ideal for tacos, grilled dishes, tikkas, tamales, or rice bowls.
