Frequently Asked Questions
What are pupusas and how do I make them with El Avion products?
Pupusas are thick, handmade tortillas filled with ingredients like beans, cheese, or chicharrón, grilled until golden. Use El Avion corn masa harina: mix with water to form dough, stuff, flatten, and cook on a hot comal or skillet for 3-5 minutes per side. Top with curtido for the full Salvadoran experience.
Is El Avion coffee suitable for all brewing methods?
Yes, El Avion's medium-roast coffee beans work brilliantly with espresso machines, French presses, or drip filters. Grind fresh for the best flavour, and enjoy its smooth, chocolate undertones – a staple from El Salvador's highlands.
How should I store Salvadoran ingredients from this collection?
Store dry goods like masa harina in airtight containers in a cool, dry cupboard. Coffee beans stay freshest in opaque bags away from heat and moisture. Most products have long shelf lives, perfect for UK pantries.
Are these products authentic to Salvadoran cuisine?
Absolutely – El Avion sources directly from Salvadoran artisans and farms, mirroring the ingredients used in traditional pupuserías and markets. It's as close as you can get to El Salvador without leaving the UK.
