Heirloom Corn
Your kernel-to-masa journey starts here. A rainbow of rich, nutty, fragrant varietals of heirloom corn grown by traditional farming communities across Mexico, from Tlaxacala to Oaxaca, Michoacán to Yucatán.
White Olotillo
•
55 lb
Olotillo is a workhorse that will produce a balanced masa, no matter the final application; it contains a light, floury starch for a pillowy table tortilla and a dense enough body for making perfect tostadas, totopos and recipe tortillas (i.e., tortillas meant for enchiladas, enfrijoladas, etc.) that don’t absorb excess oil when fried.
White Bolita
•
55 lb
White Bolita comes from the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca and is often used for larger tortillas like tlayudas and quesadillas because of its starch density. It yields a beautiful, natural white masa with bolita’s signature sturdy composition. We also love White Bolita in pozole.
Cacahuazintle
•
44 lb
Proudly sourced from a farming community in Estado de México, Cacahuazintle is the star of pozole throughout Mexico. With a soft, floury starch and large kernel size, it blooms into a beautiful, hearty addition to any soup or stew. Our corn has not yet been nixtamalized, so make sure you process it according to your recipe. But good news: This corn is 'sin cabeza' meaning the work of removing the tip cap has already been done!
