Mexico’s Ceviche Tradition: A delicacy full of history
Ceviche is one of the most representative dishes of Mexican cuisine, and its fresh and vibrant flavor has conquered both locals and tourists around the world. Although it has several variations throughout Latin America, Mexican ceviche is distinguished by its use of fresh, local ingredients, such as freshly caught fish or seafood, as well as its unique touches of flavor from chiles, fresh herbs and citrus juices.
In Mexico, ceviche is not only a dish, but a culinary tradition that varies by region. From the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, each place has its own style of ceviche, but all share an essential characteristic: the freshness of its ingredients and the combination of intense flavors that awaken the senses.
Mexican ceviche: Fresh, bold, colorful flavors
What makes ceviche unique in Mexican cuisine is undoubtedly the harmony of its fresh ingredients and the variety of options offered. One of the main components of ceviche is fresh fish or seafood, which is “cooked” in lemon or lime juice, but what really makes the difference are the additional ingredients that add texture, freshness and a touch of characteristic spiciness.
The use of chili, which is the essence of Mexican cuisine, can be mild or intense, depending on the type used. In addition, Mexican ceviche incorporates fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, such as cilantro, avocado and cucumber, which perfectly balance the acidic and spicy flavor of citrus and chiles.
