Mole sauces typically have a myriad of ingredients and are made by toasting and grinding spices, seeds, and chiles, then simmered for many hours.

Huitlacoche, also known as corn smut is a fungus that grows on ears of corn. It has an earthy, mushroomy flavor that is a delicacy and has limited availability.

Oaxaca cheese is a white, semi-hard cheese similar to Monterey Jack but with a mozzarella-like string cheese texture. It is named after the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, where it was first made.

Epazote is a pungent herb similar in flavor to fennel or tarragon but stronger.

Guanábana or soursop is a green nubby fruit with a taste described as a combination of citrus and pineapple with a creamy texture.

Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage made from the maguey plant, which is a form of agave. Tequila is made from agave. It has been made in Oaxaca since the 1500s.

Oaxacan food can best be described as subtle, rich and layered. It is distinguished by the strong presence of pre-Hispanic elements mixed with ingredients introduced by the Spanish.
