Sal de Gusano Agave Worm Salt 65 gram jar 2.29 oz - Premium Gourmet Salt in Gift Box - Chinicuil - Pairs with Tequila and Mezcal Don Catrin (Pack of 2)

A must for Mescal Margarita's this salt is authentic and delicious. Don't be fooled by the 'worm' in the description. The worms used in manufacture had a wonderful life (in tequila) and are full of taste! Hard to find in the states. Authentic for that special drink recipe.

It tastes good. They look bigger in the pictures, even though it's a good product.

This product is not worth the high price. It's just some salt and chili powder, with only 2% maguey (agave) worms, which you can't even taste. They should absolutely list the ingredients so that buyers are aware of the incredibly small percentage of agave worms, but until they do, I've added a photo of the label---so you've been warned. You're better off buying dried whole agave worms (they're actually caterpillars), grinding them, and mixing with chili powder and sea salt to make your own blend with more worms for a richer and more authentic flavor. Traditional Sal de Gusano should have much more than 2%, typically anywhere from 5 to 15%. Search for "Dried Agave Worms" and you'll see you can get around 3 g for $15 online, and probably far less if you can find a local Oaxacan market.

Great product! I love it with a slice of orange and some Mezcal.

Proper chili for Mezcal This chili is the authentic Mexican chili for Mezcal and oranges a bit overpriced considering in Mexico you can buy it for three dollars but still a great product

Great for cocktails! People love it at my restaurant!

This salt is so full of flavor and great with tequila, even Bloody Mary’s!

I bought this product expecting it would be similar to the sample that comes with the purchase of a bottle of Mezcal . It doesn’t come close to the flavor or quality I expected. Paying almost $30 for 2 small jars of pure salt is quite disappointing. I have found Mexican seasoned salt for a fraction of the cost at the grocery store that is more flavorful & satisfying. Don’t waste your money . For those who know, you’ll be disappointed. I do not recommend.

This is delicious and I like to think it's healthy too. It's chilli hot so a little goes a long way. It's great sprinkled on roast potatoes or sweet potato salad and I use it on barbecued steak too. Fun little addition to the larder.

Worm salt is most commonly used for flavouring an orange slice to suck whilst drinking mezcal or tequila. It is made from sea salt, dried mezcal worm, chile ancho, guajillo and piquín pepper. This brand has a very distinct hot flavour and if it were not for the price, I would give it 5 stars. However at nearly £300 per Kg, it is not good value for money. As all the ingredients are available except for the dried worm, I might try making some myself. Eating worm salt on an orange slice whilst sipping mezcal is a bit of a show, so it looks good to have the authentic brand on the table. I recommend you try it.

Very tasty
