Amazing
This paste is wonderful in so many different foods. I combine it with lemon and rub it on a roast chicken or baked cut up chicken or on a thanksgiving turkey. I combine it with chipotle peppers with some adobo sauce and spread it on thinly sliced pork for a few hours then grill it for tacos al pastor along with grilled thinly sliced red onions and sliced grilled pineapple. I use it as part of the seasonings for the chicken that goes in tamales. I use it for about a dozen other recipes. This stuff is amazing and brings life to so many dishes. This spice blend originates in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico (according to my Mom) and is widely used in Mexican cooking. It was originally a Mayan condiment but has spread in use. It consists of Annatto seed along with a number of other spices. It is commonly also called Recado Rojo. Once opened, I store the leftover paste in the refrigerator for best results. That keeps it tasting fresh and helps keep it from drying out.

Quality flavor
I used this to marinate pork and it tasted pretty good. I would recommend sealing the rest in a plastic bag after opening though.

Unique flavor, easy to use
We tried this El Yucateco achiote paste in a chicken pibil recipe we found on the internet - added orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano and put them in a blender with the paste, marinated the chicken in the resulting sauce, and cooked for an hour and 30 minutes. Delicious ! Like other reviews have mentioned, it's hard to compare the flavor of achiote to anything else. It's not spicy or sweet or sour ... it adds a deep, satisfying flavor all its own. We'll definitely buy again.

Do your research
I am always experimenting with foods and spices, this was new to me. It took a while for it to break down to make a thick paste, but I was successful. The taste is probably acquired and a little goes a long way. I'm glad to have experimented with it but couldn't really find a use for it. The price was fair and don't feel as if I lost anything.
