A smooth, brick-red paste of annatto and spices, Achiote Paste (recado rojo) is ready to use straight from the container. The flavor is earthy and slightly peppery, and the color carries through to the finished dish. In Mexican and Latin American kitchens it is the base for cochinita pibil and pollo asado, and it works into marinades and sauce bases where consistent color and seasoning are needed across production runs. Refrigerate after opening.
Santa Maura sells Achiote Paste in bulk only, from 50 lb upward, with every order quoted at the day's market cost. Add it to your quote request to get current pricing.
