Tío Pablo Dried Ancho Poblano Chilli
$8.60Price
Ancho poblano chillis—the dried form of the fully ripened, red poblano pepper—feature a wide, heart-shaped, and deeply wrinkled skin with a dark reddish-brown to near-black colour.
They offer a very approachable, mild heat that measures between 1,000 and 1,500 Scoville Heat Units. Their flavour profile is incredibly rich, sweet, and fruity, bursting with distinct notes of raisins, dried plums, and a subtle hint of coffee and tobacco.
As the anchor of the Mexican "holy trinity" alongside pasilla and mulato peppers, they are arguably the most popular dried chilli in Mexico, heavily relied upon to give a sweet depth, thick body, and deep colour to traditional mole sauces, enchilada sauces, tamal fillings, chilli con carne, and marinades.
