Funnybones to Spice Up Mexican Seasoning Offering with two New Products

Funnybones has expanded its extensive range of sensational spices with two authentic Mexican seasonings; Al Pastor and Cochinita.

Most notable for the nation’s famous street-food tacos with the same name, Al Pastor seasoning became extremely popular in the Puebla region of central Mexico, and has spread like wildfire since. With notes of chilli, pineapple, and achiote, this seasoning brings an earthy, smoky taste to dishes.

Originating in the Yucatan province of Mexico, Cochinita seasoning offers a different kind of smokiness, punctuated with sweet orange juice, achiote, and charred garlic that combine to create its’ distinct and vibrant colour. Translating into ‘suckling pig’ in English, Cochinita is most popular to create a medium spiced hog roast, known as Cochinita Pibil in Mexico, and is widely used in celebratory meals. However, with versatility in mind, Funnybones has developed both seasonings to be completely veganfriendly, meaning they can be used to create a range of Mexican themed dishes, including plant-based options.

Funnybones Development Chef, Tom Styman-Heighton, explains the benefit of expanding seasoning ranges;

“With everyone feeling the pinch of rising food and living costs, we’re seeing a lot of pubs and restaurants scaling their menus back. Sauces, condiments, and seasonings can instantly diversify a simple menu, and is an extremely cost-effective way to do so, so we want to make sure we’re supporting our customers by offering a wide range to suit all styles. Al Pastor and Cochinita are both classic Mexican seasonings, so they’re an essential part of our line-up. With our expertise in the region, we’ve been able to develop these high-quality products, to an authentic recipe, so our customers can pass on that quality to their diners.”

The Al Pastor and Cochinita seasonings join Funnybones’ extensive range of flavour bombs, including their veganfriendly smokey butt seasoning, all of which are perfect for the upcoming National BBQ Week set to take the UK by storm at the end of May.
