Full of flavor and aroma. Among the best chipotles I have found on the market.

Both fresh and dried. these are a "can't do without" in my kitchen. i go through pounds of these. they are the mainstay in my home made sauces and salsas.
in traditional latin-american cooking, dried chiles are toasted in an iron pan (comal) before using. pliability is an important factor when toasting them. in a properly dried chile, the moisture content needs to still be high enough that when you toast them the residual moisture causes the chile to puff back up. this makes it easy to split the chile and remove the seeds and membranes. this is important if you remove these to tame the heat, but also if (like me) you want to toast the seeds to add back to dishes. trying to toast or remove the seeds from an overly dried chile is an exercise in futility.
i live 45 miles from mexico, and i can get just about any chile locally. however, getting dried chiles that are not overly dried, and are still pliable is not always easy. these from spicesinc. are consistently the best moritas i've found in terms of correct dryness, quality, and size.

Solid choice. A good amount
Solid choice. A good amount of spice and unique flavor, but a little less preferable to me than the dried Habeneros.

But the chipotles I received from SpicesInc.com were extremely fresh and fragrant - they added the perfect amount of smoky spiciness to the braised pork I was cooking. I had purchased dried chipotles from the grocery store before I discovered SpicesInc, and the grocery store peppers were terrible (no flavor or aroma) compared to the spices inc peppers. Price-wise the two are about even, but the SpicesInc products that I have tried are far superior in terms of quality. Great customer service and fast shipping, too!
