San Miguel Cuitlacoche Can 220g
Cuitlacoche, also known as Huitlacoche, is a unique and treasured ingredient in Mexican cuisine, often referred to as a "corn truffle." This delicacy is created when a fungus grows on corn, transforming the kernels into plump, darkened clusters rich in flavor. Found in fruit and vegetable markets throughout Mexico, cuitlacoche has been enjoyed for centuries as a part of the traditional diet. It boasts a deep, earthy taste that adds a gourmet touch to many dishes. While it's highly versatile, one of the most popular ways to enjoy it is in quesadillas, where its rich, umami flavor complements melted cheese and tortillas perfectly.
For those unfamiliar with the term, it's pronounced "weet-la-COH-cheh" and is a culinary treasure that reflects the deep-rooted food culture of Mexico. Whether sautéed, mixed into fillings, or used in tamales, cuitlacoche brings a delicious depth of flavor to any dish it touches.
