These chiles are farmed primarily on small-holdings properties, and are called ayuuk (pronounced “ah-YOOK”) by the locals. These locations and the processing areas where they are cleaned, dried, and smoked are fiercely protected by the locals to prevent the seeds and drying techniques from theft.

Fantastic Best of the smokey peppers we think. Use this in our taco seasoning, chili dishes, anything. Twice the smoke of a Chipotle, try it with Gaujillos and Anchos for Enchilada sauce, or make Oaxacan Salsa using Tomatillos. The secret ingredient in all of our Mexican dishes, friends can't figure it out until I let them smell the bag !!! Buy by the pound and use all year...

Great blend of sweet, spicy, and smoky To some degree dried peppers are dried peppers, but these do have a unique flavor that I'm looking forward to playing with. Definitely unique.

BEST CHILIES ON THE PLANET These chilies 🌶� were brand new to me when I discovered them here a few years ago. They have now become one of my most used. Nothing compares to them in terms of *FLAVOR, *SMOKINESS or *FRESHNESS … you can adjust their heat by excluding seeds and veins when grinding. They possess unparalleled smokiness and a nice warm fruity flavor. Indispensable.
