Fresh & Wild | Premium Achiote Paste | Vegan, Gluten-Free | For Cooking with Chicken, Pork, Fish, Seasoning in South American and African Dishes | 20 oz | Gourmet, Chef-Inspired Ingredients

Achiote paste has a fairly mild flavor. It is earthy and nutty thanks to a special array of spices and herbs. The heat level of our Premium Achiote paste is moderate to mild. It also has sweet and peppery undertones.

Our gourmet Achiote Paste is a blend of annatto seeds, vinegar and a unique spice combination. It adds an earthy, somewhat sweet and spicy, slightly smoky flavor and can be used as a sauce, marinade, or rub for meat, chicken, and fish.

Latin dishes that require an infusion of color and brightness, or acidic flavors. Great in grilled chicken, pastor-style tacos, shredded pork sandwiches, cochinita pibil, and many other dishes. The paste can also be added to empanada and tamale dough for color and flavor.
