Details
Mexican Holy Bars - Tierrita de San Juan de Los Lagos are delicate, powdery clays from Mexico. Each bar is light and soft, melting into a smooth paste without any grit or stickiness. Fragile and easily breakable, they offer a gentle, sensory clay experience. The subtle dusty tones of Chalma mud emerge beautifully, carrying earthy, basement-like aromas when moistened. Mild yet grounding, these bars pair wonderfully with a stronger red clay dip for those seeking a layered tasting experience. They carry a soft, rainwater-like freshness and a finely textured, crumbly consistency with a delicate hint of grit.

Traditional Clay Origins:
Tierrita de San Juan de Los Lagos is part of a centuries-old tradition of sacred edible clays in Mexico. These clays are often derived from local kaolins and Chalma dirt, prized for their purity, softness, and subtle mineral flavours. Historically, Holy Bars were used in religious and ritual contexts, believed to carry protective and cleansing properties, and were consumed in small amounts for spiritual and health purposes. The kaolins lend a soft, white base with gentle melting properties, while the Chalma dirt contributes earthy depth, a mild rainwater freshness, and a lightly gritty, crumbly texture. This combination has made Mexican Holy Bars a unique culinary and cultural experience, blending subtle taste with centuries of tradition.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.
Handling Guidelines
- clean, dry hands.
- wooden spoon included with your order
Fragility Disclaimer
All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
To help, every order includes a wooden spoon — ideal for enjoying broken pieces or powder just as deliciously as the whole form.
