If you would like to pick up an order, you must let us know ahead of time. We are a family run business that specializes in manufacturing two Mayan seasonings: Achiote & Bistek. They can be used for cooking several kinds of meat, fish, and pork. These two products are called Achiote and Bistek and can be found in brick or paste form. Both of our Achiote and Bistek products are referred to as seaso
ning pastes since they act more as a “flavoring” rather than adding a “hot” or “spicy” taste. Achiote is our most popular seasoning paste and is red in color. It gets its beautiful color from its main ingredient, the Annatto Seed. It can be used to flavor any meat, including pork dishes, carne asada, or even rice. Its uniqueness is that, in addition to adding such fantastic flavor to food, it adds a beautiful color presentation to any dish. Bistek is our other seasoning paste flavor. It is green in color (do not worry, it will not turn your food green!) and is made from the combination of allspice, black pepper, garlic, oregano and other spices. It is mainly used to flavor beef, but also adds an amazing flavor to fish. The great thing about these two seasonings is that they are very easy to use! Simply dissolve them in your choice of lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, or water and marinate the meat! Please visit DelMayab.com to place an order or search for La Perla Spice on Amazon.com!
