Good standby and decent flavour.
A good substitute if you can't be bothered making your own achiote, from a reliable brand. Best kept refrigerated once opened and used promptly, as it loses its punch over time. This paste is authentically pungent, but mild on the chilli heat.

Cheap and easy achiote paste
Living in the UK it can be difficult to get anything close to the ingredients for Mexican food, so this is a really nice substitute for fresh achiote peppers. I use about a teaspoon to substitute for 2 peppers and while it's not a perfect substitute, it's the closest I've found.

Love this!
This is literally the BEST ingredient if you want delicious pulled pork. Mix this block in a blender with orange juice, pepper, salt, oregano, mixed spice, and cumin. Then spread the marinade all over a 2-3kg joint of pork shoulder, leave overnight then cook in the oven on 160 for 3-4 hours. The result is delicious pull apart pork with a 'next level' flavour!!

Very good
I used this in tacos el pastor and to make some sazon, it worked well in both, adding a depth of flavour to the taste in both. Although it smells quite strong it is not too hot when added into a mix as directed, overall good value for money.
