Gusano de maguey has been prized since pre-Hispanic times, when it was considered a delicacy fit for Aztec emperors. The Gran Mitla family has carried forward this tradition for three generations, hand-harvesting Oaxacan sea salt and blending it with dried Oaxacan chilies and toasted, ground agave worm using a recipe passed down through time. Every batch of Sal de Gusano is a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Oaxaca.
