A pantry with an address

Each thing on this shelf comes from a named place. The four mole pastes come from Xico in Veracruz and from Puebla. The salt is raked by hand at the Cuyutlán lagoon in Colima, between February and early summer. The chapulines are toasted in Oaxaca, the maguey juice comes from Jalisco and the mayocoba beans from Sinaloa.

Cal is the one jar here that needs care in the kitchen: it is calcium hydroxide, the lime that turns dried corn into nixtamal, and it irritates eyes and skin when dry. Measure it with a spoon, keep it out of reach of children, and read the mole guide if you are new to cooking with paste.

YERBERO Mexican pantry: questions

What people ask about mole, Colima salt and cal.

How do you cook YERBERO mole paste?

Each label asks for one part paste to two parts broth or water, dissolved over medium heat, thinned with more broth to taste and stirred 4 to 5 minutes. The mole guide covers all four moles.

Will you need a mill for YERBERO Colima salt?

No. The grain is coarse and unrefined but soft: it crumbles between your fingers.

What do you use YERBERO cal for?

For nixtamal: dried corn is cooked and soaked in water with cal before it is ground into masa. Cal is calcium hydroxide and irritates eyes and skin, so measure it with a spoon and keep it away from children.
