Mojo Criollo
Cuban Mojo, Mojo Sauce
Mojo criollo is the soul of Cuban cooking—a garlicky, citrusy marinade and sauce made with sour orange juice. It's essential for lechón asado (roast pork) and gives Cuban cuisine its distinctive tangy-garlicky character.
Sazón
Sazón Goya, Latin Seasoning
Sazón is the secret weapon of Latin American home cooks—a seasoning blend that adds color, flavor, and depth to everything it touches. Its distinctive orange-red color comes from annatto.
Bijol
Bija, Annatto Powder
Bijol is Cuba's go-to coloring agent for rice, giving arroz amarillo its signature golden hue. It's a blend of annatto seeds and cumin that adds both color and subtle flavor.
