2. TRADITION

We respect the tradition our ancestors have bestowed upon us. From harvesting the worms, which is only done once a year during the rainy season, to searching in each maguey plant for the best quality worms, to later toast them to perfection and mix them with our salt and chili peppers.

1. METCHI

Metchi is the abbreviation for “metchikuil,” the authentic name for the red maguey worm in the indigenous Zapotec language.

Our salt mix is smokey and spicey, with pleasant, earthy undertones.

Metchi balances and enhances the taste of mezcal and is perfect to sa lt a wide variety of cocktails. It’s also a delicious seasoning for Mexican and other international dishes.

3. ENJOYMENT

1. Metchi is the perfect finishing touch for the Mezcal ritual and a great rim salt for a wide variety of cocktails.

2. Use Metchi to add a Mexican touch to corn with butter, it’s delicious!

3. Add a zesty kick to fruits and vegetables. Sprinkle Metchi over slices of apple, orange, cucumber, jicama, mango, pineapple, or carrots, and enjoy the unique salty-spicy tang. 4. Surprise everyone at your next cookout by using Metchi for a flavorful flair to any cut of meat.
