This 70 g pack of dried Ancho chillies from Cool Chile Co delivers the authentic taste of Mexico's most commonly used dried pepper. These are ripened poblanos with an oxblood colour and wrinkly skin, offering a high flesh-to-skin ratio that ensures rich, complex flavour in every pod, mild heat (3/10) with distinctive notes of dried fruit and bitter chocolate.

These chillies are fundamental to traditional Mexican cooking, perfect for creating depth in salsas, moles and hearty stews like carne con chile. Simply toast briefly in a dry pan until fragrant, then rehydrate in just-boiled water for 15 minutes before transforming into the foundation of countless authentic dishes.

Cool Chile Co's Ancho chillies are for serious home cooks who want to experience real Mexican flavours without overwhelming heat, adding warmth and complexity that makes everyday cooking something special.

Why It Stands Out

  • Authentic Mexican Staple: The most widely used dried pepper in traditional Mexican cooking.
  • Complex Flavour Profile: Sweet, fruity notes with hints of bitter chocolate.
  • Kitchen Essential: Perfect for salsas, moles, stews and stuffing.
  • Approachable Heat Level: Mild 3/10 spice that adds warmth without overwhelming.

Tasting Notes

Expect a rich, fruity depth with subtle warmth rather than fierce heat, these pepper pods deliver complex layers of dried fruit sweetness balanced with earthy, chocolate-like undertones that form the backbone of authentic Mexican cuisine.

About The Producer

Cool Chile Co specialises in bringing genuine Mexican ingredients to kitchens everywhere, focusing on quality and authenticity above all else. Their carefully sourced chillies represent the true flavours of Mexico, undiluted and uncompromised, the real deal for those who value culinary honesty.

Both exceptional. Thanks

Multiple issues with delivery

This was part of a bigger order, that I got partially refunded for. Three issues:

1. Your system allowed me to order a veg basket 3 days prior to the delivery. You then got in touch with me and informed me that this should not have happened, so you scheduled the delivery for the following week - which I was totally ok with

2. We didn't receive the order on the scheduled day of the delivery (Friday the 19th). No information on expected time of delivery was provided anywhere on the website/Shop app. I got a notification from Shop at 10.28pm that delivery was attempted at 11.24pm(!) - I was at home and no delivery was attempted at any point.

3. I got in touch with you about the above, and the delivery was 'rescheduled for Monday 22', when we received a box of mostly rotten produce. I understand that you couldn't provide new veg boxes on the spot, but I somehow didn't realise that by 'rescheduling' you meant that the boxes were waiting/rotting in the meantime. Some more clarity on that would be appreciated, especially given that the order was made 11 days before. We appreciated the refund offered, but have not received it yet.

My favourite nourished communities product

I get it almost every online order because it's just so versatile and tasty. You know it's much fresher than other store bought tofu because of its clean taste and also because it expires rapidly. You know they haven't done anything in the process to make it last longer but potentially take away from the product as well.

Lovely olive oil at great price

Great olive oil at a great price!

Good leaves, but would be great to get some more spring veg

Great quality leaves. Hoping the root veg cycles out. Asparagus soon please!

Thanks for the review and for the valuable feedback! I've shared this with our veg box manager :)

It does take a bit of time for a good selection of new season veg to come through - the hungry gap runs March to May - but the end is in sight!

Thanks,
The NoCo team

excellent bresaola

This is lovely. Cured perfectly. Deeply flavourful.

Good oil, good price

Nothing more to add. Well delivered , pretty can!

Great selection and all organic

I love my weekly veg box. It’s usually all British grown, organic and inspired you to eat with the seasons

Loved it and quick delivery!

Bought this for a friend and they loved it! They finished it the day it arrived 😀

Very satisfied

Very happy with the quality, quantity and diversity of veg in my box. It provides excellent value for money. Customer service is also excellent

A delicious box with a big variety of veggies

Full box of organic and local veggies! I particularly like that the selection is seasonal and changes every week, you get to try and cook fresh tasty veggies you're not used to👌

Worth it

Love that peppery tingly sensation you get with a good olive oil like this

esp for salads etc

actually works out not much more than I pay at tesco , but infinitely better quality

Best price out there

Won't be going anywhere else for my olive oil and such good customer service

The best olive oil I've tried

Truly incredible olive oil, my only wish is they had bigger tins!

Amazing quality!

Such delicious olive oil, closest you can get to a holiday to Greece!

Excellent quality and price!

Big fan of honest toil oil and this is the best price I found on the market for 5l

Delicious!

Love this olive oil! I use it for my salads and bread with balsamic vinegar - it’s the best around

Delicious and excellent value

Exceptional olive oil, fruity, full of flavour and great value for money

Best olive oil I've tried!

Had this at a friend's house and I interrupted him to ask where the oil was from - it was that good. Buy now! You won't regret
