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.
