Mystic Box: Chimenea & Copal Incense Cones

A premium chile oil made with organic chile morita, pistachios, piloncillo, cranberries, garlic, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. No seed oils. No preservatives. The olive oil base gives it a richness that vegetable oils simply cannot replicate. It is smoky, slightly sweet, crunchy, and goes well with just about everything.

Fresh jalapeños slowly fried at a low temperature in olive oil, with Colima salt. Three ingredients. No seed oils. The result is a crunchy, spicy topping that goes on eggs, avocado toast, pasta, pizza, ceviche, soups, and beans. This year, it was changed to organic jalapeños grown in Mexico.

A chile-lime powder made with hibiscus flower. No preservatives or artificial colors. Its pink-red color comes naturally from the hibiscus. Use it on fruit, jicama, cucumber, mango, chips, cocktail rims, margaritas, popcorn, and yogurt. It is a clean-ingredient alternative to Tajín, without artificial colors.

Masa flour made with landrace corn grown in the Yucatán Peninsula. These are heirloom varieties passed down for generations, non-GMO, and nixtamalized with calcium hydroxide. The white version is made with traditional white corn; the red version is made with chac chob, a red landrace corn that creates tortillas with a deeper flavor and natural brick-red color.

Sea salt harvested by hand in Cuyutlán, Colima, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. No additives, no anti-caking agents, and no industrial processing. It is rich in trace minerals that refined salt loses. It has a clean ocean flavor and a softer finish than conventional table salt. It is mainly used as a finishing salt.

Yes. Matriarca’s Organic Agave has official organic certification. It is made with 100% Blue Weber agave and extracted through a thermal process, never fermentation, which helps preserve the plant’s natural sweetness. It is 30% sweeter than sugar and has a lower glycemic index.

No. No Matriarca product contains artificial preservatives. This has been one of the brand’s non-negotiables since day one.

Moderately. The classic Salsa Macha has a pleasant heat balanced by the sweetness of piloncillo. The Salsa Macha Hot Batch is significantly spicier, with the same premium ingredients and more chile. Chicharrón de Chile has the natural heat of jalapeño. Pica Maica has chile-lime heat. Everything con Chipotle has a mild, smoky spice.

Most Matriarca products are naturally gluten-free, including the masaharinas made with nixtamalized corn, powders, salt, agave, and salsas. Always check the label to confirm based on your specific needs.

Store it at room temperature before opening. Once opened, refrigeration is recommended to maintain freshness, although olive oil acts as a natural preservative.
