Rooted in Oaxaca. Shared with the world.

Gran Mitla brings the flavors of Oaxaca to your table through a family recipe passed down over three generations. Our Sal de Gusano blends gusano de maguey, Oaxacan sea salt, and dried chilies: distinctive ingredients with a story worth sharing.

Our roots in Oaxaca

Our connection to Oaxaca begins with its flavors. The family recipe behind Gran Mitla keeps that connection alive, bringing together ingredients that give Sal de Gusano its unmistakable character.

What is gusano de maguey?

Gusano de maguey is the agave worm, an ingredient with a place in Mexico’s culinary heritage. In our Sal de Gusano, it is dried, toasted, and ground with sea salt and chilies. The result is a seasoning that brings a taste of that tradition to the table.

How our Sal de Gusano is made

1. Select

Gusanos de maguey are carefully selected and collected from agave plants.

2. Dry and toast

The gusanos are dried and toasted in preparation for grinding.

3. Grind and blend

They are ground with hand-harvested Oaxacan sea salt and dried Oaxacan chilies to create the finished blend.
