Crushed Mulato Pepper

Mulato chillies crushed have a smoky, mild flavour with notes of liquorice, tobacco and cherry. In whole form, the chillies are chocolate brown and this is where they get the name “mulato” from. They are 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, with a body that tapers into a point.

Mulato chillies are actually a dried, ripened form of the poblano pepper. Because mulato chillies are left to ripen longer, they gain their distinctive dark brown colour, their leathery texture and smoky, mild flavour. They measure between 2500 to 3000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU)

In Mexico, when a dried chilli pepper forms a taste, texture, and colour that’s unique in comparison with their fresher counterparts (in this case, the poblano pepper), it’s given an entirely new name to help chefs distinguish which version of the pepper should be used in recipes.

Mulato crushed will enable you to create authentic mole and poblano sauces at home (try our Turkey mole recipe!) This mild Mexican chilli is great when partnered with other spices like chipotle, cinnamon, cumin and coriander to make Chilli con Carne.
