Deep Chile Flavor! Beautiful chiles for spice blends, sauces (especially mole), and Mexican dishes. I like to lightly toast them after stemming and seeding for full flavor. The deep chile flavor is a wonderful addition for chicken or pork dishes. I like to add it to my frittata dishes or omelets for a little bit of zing.

Full of flavor, deep and Full of flavor, deep and rich color. Adds great depth to spices blends and sauces. I used this for my enchilada sauce and it was outstanding. The texture is pliable and still soft, which helps maintain its fragrance.
