Details
Soft Mexican Clay Crumbs are crafted from 100% Terrón Terracotta Mexicana and offer the same gentle, sun-warmed clay experience as the mini pots—now in an easy-to-enjoy crumb form. Finely broken into soft, manageable pieces, these crumbs deliver a mild, clean crunch that quickly melts down, releasing a smooth, dusty earthiness. Less intense than traditional terracotta and naturally low in grit, this format is perfect for sprinkling, portioning, or enjoying straight from the stash. Expect warm mineral notes, subtle dryness, and a comforting, grounded flavour reminiscent of cracked clay and sun-drenched soil.

Traditional Clay Origins:
Made from authentic Terrón-based Mexican terracotta, these crumbs reflect the same artisanal clay traditions used for handmade pottery and household vessels. The naturally fine grain and warm hue of this clay create a softer, smoother sensory profile. In crumb form, Soft Mexican Clay Crumbs offer a versatile and approachable way to enjoy the earthy essence of Mexican terracotta without the intensity of harder, grittier clays.

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
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.
