Atol Shuco is a warm, savory drink made from fermented purple cornmeal that’s been soaked and cooked with alkaline ash (tequesquite or cal), giving it a distinct sour aroma and deep earthy flavor. It is traditionally served with black beans, salt, and chile powder on the side, often accompanied by fresh bread or fried pastries. Popular in western El Salvador, especially in Ahuachapán and Sonsonate, Atol Shuco is typically consumed in the mornings or late evenings, especially by older generations.

Common variations include adjusting fermentation time or adding queso duro (hard cheese) on top.
