Maseca Nixtamalized Corn Flour

You can buy Maseca Blanca flour directly on the Mexsabores website, which ships from Milan throughout Italy and Europe. It is the easiest way to get this authentic ingredient and to have everything you need to prepare your favorite Mexican recipes delivered to your home.

Maseca Blanca flour may contain traces of gluten, as indicated on the label. The main ingredients are white corn nixtamalized with lime, iron, zinc and B vitamins, including niacin, thiamine, riboflavin and folic acid. If you have a specific allergy or intolerance, always check the product label before purchasing.

No, Maseca Blanca flour is also great for sopes and gorditas, two Mexican antojitos that are perfect as appetizers. For sopes, shape small tortillas with a thicker rim, fry them lightly and top with beans, cheese, lettuce and salsa. Gorditas, similar to small flatbreads, are cut in half and filled with chicken, guacamole or chorizo.

Simply mix Maseca Blanca flour with water and a pinch of salt until you get a soft but not sticky dough. Shape it into balls, flatten them with a tortilla press or a plate, then cook them on a hot griddle for a few minutes on each side. The tortillas you get are perfect for tacos, enchiladas or quesadillas, filled with meat, vegetables, cheese and salsas.

Maseca Blanca flour is a nixtamalized white corn flour made in Mexico by the Maseca brand, which in 1949 founded the world's first plant for producing this type of flour, in Nuevo León. Today Maseca is the world's leading brand in the sector. The Mexsabores format is 1 kg, ideal for making homemade tortillas, sopes and Mexican antojitos.
