SAL de GUSANO / CHINICUIL SALT — Deep umami. Earthy heat. One pinch changes everything.

Made with sea salt, toasted Chinicuil (red agave worm), and chile powder— this 1.5 oz pouch is the finishing touch your mezcal ritual and weeknight tacos have been missing. The Chinicuil is sourced directly from small-scale farmers in the sierras of northern México, so every pouch supports that relationship from harvest to your table.

How to Use It

• Mezcal & tequila shots: Sprinkle an orange wedge with the Sal de Gusano, lick, sip, sip again. That’s it — that’s the ritual.
• Cocktail rim: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and press it into a shallow plate of Sal de Gusano. Works beautifully on a mezcal paloma, margarita, or michelada.
• Tacos: Pinch ⅛–¼ tsp over carnitas, al pastor, or mushroom tacos just before serving for a smoky-savory finish.
• Salsa booster: Stir ¼ tsp into your salsa verde or roja to deepen the base flavor — no additional salt needed.
• Finishing salt: A light dusting over grilled meat, roasted vegetables, poultry, or avocado toast is all it takes.
