excellent!The main reason I chose this was because it is organic and I do not want to use regular corn in anything if I can help it. I used to buy the prepared masa at grocery stores and this is the first time I've tried making masa from a dry flour. I bought this to make tamales and it is wonderful. They turned out nice and fluffy with perfect texture. I followed the instructions on the bag to get the right proportions of oil to masa and it worked great. The olive oil makes very good masa and I like that I do not have to use an unhealthy fat and they still turn out fantastic. I liked that the masa came in five 1 pound bags instead of one big 5 pound bag. It makes it convenient to use just what I need and the rest is sealed for freshness. I will buy this again!

Great Masa for Homemade TortillasThis is a wonderful, organic whole grain corn masa. We love homemade tortillas and this masa makes wonderful tortillas. I see that Amazon suggest a metal tortilla press to go with this product, but I strongly recommend a wooden tortilla press. Amazon has some beautiful wooden tortilla presses at a good price, but I just use a simply one that I got for $15 at a local Mexican grocery store. Tortillas are very easy to make. I measure out 1/3 cup of masa for every tortilla I want to make and then add 1/4 cup of water for each. A Danish Dough Whisk – Stainless Steel & Wooden Handle – Large 13.5" Professional Grade Hand Whisk does a great job of combining the masa and water and then finish off with a little bit of hand kneading before forming into balls a little larger than a golf ball. To press the tortillas, I cut apart a Ziploc gallon-size freezer bag, which then gives me two sheets of plastic the perfect size and much sturdier than plastic wrap. I put one sheet of plastic on each side of the tortilla press and set the ball of dough on the bottom surface. I press once, rotate the plastic 1/4 turn and press again, four times in total, which gives a nice, thin tortilla. I bake my tortillas on a griddle pan that covers two burners on my stove. I start pre-heating my griddle on medium-high before I even measure out my masa. With the double burner griddle, I can cook two tortillas at once. Tortillas are amazing in that they will teach you how to make them. If your dough is too dry, your tortillas will crumble when you go to press them. Just gather up your dough, moisten your hands and work the moisture into the dough and try again. If your dough it too wet, your tortillas will stick to the plastic when you try to peel the plastic back. Just gather up your dough, form it into a ball and roll the ball in some masa. Work the added masa into the dough and try again. Tortillas aren't like pie crusts. They won't get tough if you work the dough too much. Once you've tasted homemade, it will be hard to go back to buying tortillas in a package.
