Yucatán Achiote Cooperative
Yucatán, Mexico
Growers and grinders of annatto seed working in the same tradition that gives pastor-style meats their color and base flavor, blending the ground seed with citrus and spice in small batches rather than mass-producing a shelf-stable paste.

Grinds annatto seed the same day it's harvested, blending it with citrus while the seed oils are still at their most fragrant.
“Let the seed sit too long before grinding and the whole paste tastes flat.”
Our sourcing philosophy
Ground fresh, blended small — a paste this specific doesn't keep well at scale.
