La Mexicana Molcajete Pig Head
La Mexicana Basalt Stone Molcajete with Pig head
A Molcajete is a stone tool, the traditional Mexican version of the mortar and pestle tool. The word Molcajete is the Mexican Spanish word for the Nahuatl Mulcazitl. Molcajetes are typically round in shape and supported by three short legs. They are frequently decorated with the carved head of an animal on the outside edge of the bowl, giving the molcajete the appearance of a short, stout, three-legged animal. The pig is the most common animal head used for decoration of this type. The matching hand-held grinding tool, known as a Tejolote (Mexican Spanish, from Nahuatl texolotl)>, is also made of the same basalt (volcanic rock) material. Molcajetes are used to crush and grind spices, and prepare salsas, and guacamole. The rough surface of the basalt stone creates a superb grinding surface that maintains itself over time as tiny bubbles in the basalt are ground down, replenishing the textured surface. As the porous basalt is impossible to fully clean and sanitize, Molcajetes are known to "season" (much like cast iron skillets), carrying over flavors from one preparation to another. Molcajetes can also be used as a cooking tool, where it is heated to a high temperature using an open fire or hot coals, and then used to heat its food contents. M074

Let customers speak for us
It’s my favorite hot sauce but can’t find it in stores anymore, so very happy your company carries it.
There's just no taco sauce like it. It's the best!
I very much like this product. I also like ordering from this company as they are reputable and products arrive in a timely fashion and intact.
The flowers are always fresh and the jamaica comes out delicious!
Excellent idea for snacks and special occasions.
Where can I find them. You say you are sold out but that is impossible. They are delicious!
So please, let me know where I can find them.
Thank you.
I ordered 5 jars of the Salsa, as we love this on our Tacos. The product is great, but the outdate on the jars was just shy of 6 months out. I think, that when someone orders this many jars, that whomever prepares the order for shipping should check the outdates and pick jars with longer outdates.
I warmed the tortillas in the microwave before assembling my enchiladas. The tortillas rolled up nicely without cracking, which was what I was looking for in a tortilla. Very pleased. My only issue is that there was a delay in the tortillas arriving (4 days), an issue with UPS, not the store.
We had this candy when we visited Mexico and love it! We are excited to find it at your store. It tastes just like the one we had in Mexico!
The Molcajete is gorgeous, both the stone bowl and the pestle are carefully wrapped and secured in the package. We pre-treated by grinding rice before making guacamole, the guacamole is delicious.
This taco sauce is the best there is. It has a very strong tomato flavor and not vinegar tasting like most other sauces. I have not found any other sauce as good. It is especially important that it doesn't have any MSG in the ingredients. You will never try another once you've tried La Victoria.
