El Cielo - Organic Native Mexican Blue Corn Masa Flour - 450Gr

Organic Native Mexican Blue Corn Masa Flour

Organic | Fair Trade | Gluten-Free | Non-GMO | Preservative-Free

Discover the soul of Mexican cooking with El Cielo’s Organic Native Blue Corn Masa Flour — the first of its kind in Australia.

Made from 100% criollo (native) blue corn, grown organically and fairly traded from family-owned cooperatives in Mexico, this masa flour embodies the essence of real maiz: ancient, nutritious, and deeply flavourful.

Each batch is traditionally nixtamalized — an ancestral process where corn is gently cooked and steeped in mineral-rich water and lime — unlocking its natural aroma, soft texture, and rich indigo hue.

The result is a dough that’s naturally gluten-free, Non-GMO, and preservative-free, with a subtle sweetness and earthy depth that define authentic tortillas, tamales, and sopes.

Organic and Fair Trade, this is more than a flour — it’s a return to origin. Every kernel carries centuries of care, connecting the sacred maize fields of Mexico to your modern Australian kitchen.
