Achiote Paste

Achiote Paste is a blend of Annatto seeds, garlic and spices. It is generally used in Central American and Mexican cuisines and is one of the main uses of annatto seeds - which provide the paste with its brick red colour. Used to create rubs, marinades, and as a general seasoning, the combination of ingredients creates a wonderful flavour for beef, lamb, poultry, pork, and seafood. Achiote Paste provides a bittersweet and tangy flavour that complements this large variety of dishes.
