Today, the fourth generation of the Sierra family keeps the same recipe and brings its achiote paste to homes, taquerias, restaurants and distributors across Mexico and the United States.
- The same recipe since 1963
- No added colorings: the color comes from the seed
- We make and distribute our own products
