Mexican Products & Ingredients

We also list corn and flour tortillas, tortilla chips, tostadas and other essentials that form the backbone of Mexican cuisine and are increasingly easy to find in the UK.

Our catalogue covers the most important categories of the Mexican larder: fresh and dried chillies for moles, adobos and salsas; spices and seasonings such as cumin, Mexican oregano, achiote and epazote; flours and masa like nixtamalised corn masa (Maseca, Minsa) for tortillas and tamales; beans — black, pinto and bayo; Mexican cheeses like Oaxaca, panela and cotija; and drinks including drinking chocolate, atole and Jarritos soft drinks.

Why do these ingredients matter? Mexican cuisine owes its complexity and depth of flavour to unique products that have no direct substitute in European cooking. A mole poblano without chile mulato loses its character; tacos al pastor without achiote lack their signature colour and flavour; and a salsa verde without tomatillo simply is not the same.

Use the search filters to find products by category (chillies, salsas, tortillas, spices, preserves, drinks), by name or by product type. Each product links to the Mexican shops in the UK where you can buy it, whether in London, Manchester, Birmingham or other cities.
