Located just south of the heart of Mexico, with a large coast along the Pacific, Michoacán is renowned as the ancestral home of Mexico's indigenous Purépecha, thus boasting a vibrant heritage that spans millennia.

It’s culinary richness is one of the first aspects that come up when talking about Michoacán. In 2010, UNESCO recognized Mexican gastronomy as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, citing Michoacán's culinary traditions as paradigmatic, and using this regional cuisine as its study case to grant Mexico this distinction, which was a first in its kind.
