A pre-Hispanic delicacy, revived in every pinch.

Long before mezcal became a global obsession, the gusano — the agave worm — was a prized delicacy in Oaxaca, savored by Aztec emperors and celebrated across generations. The chinicuil worm lives inside the heart of the maguey agave, absorbing its earthy, smoky essence.

We follow a three-generation-old Gran Mitla family recipe: adult worms are carefully hand-pulled from the agave pulp, slowly toasted, and ground with hand-harvested Oaxacan sea salt and dried Oaxacan chilies. The result is a complex, umami-rich finishing salt with a warm, gently spicy kick — in a 50g jar that is perfect for discovering it, gifting it, or keeping a dedicated jar on the mezcal shelf.

How to use:

  • The classic mezcal or tequila rim, the way it was meant to be enjoyed
  • Rim a Margarita, Paloma, or Michelada for an authentic Oaxacan twist
  • Finish grilled meats, avocado, eggs, or roasted vegetables
  • Sprinkle over fresh fruit for a bold sweet-savory contrast

Size: 50g glass jar — also available in 100g and 1 kilo bags.
