Chile Mulato Xatze 40 g – Depth and Sweetness in an Essential Chili for Moles and Sauces

The Chile Mulato Xatze is an indispensable ingredient in Mexican gastronomy, particularly prized for its complex and profound flavor. A close relative of the poblano pepper, this dried chili is left to mature longer on the plant, developing its characteristic dark brown color, similar to chocolate. Once dried, its flavor profile evolves to offer sweet, earthy notes with hints of ripe fruit, licorice, tobacco, and bitter cocoa.

This subtle flavor spectrum makes the mulato chili a cornerstone of mole preparation, especially in the traditional mole poblano, where it is often combined with other dried chilies such as ancho and pasilla. Beyond moles, its versatility allows it to be used in sauces, stews, marinades, and fillings, adding unmatched depth and a subtly sweet touch that balances and enhances any dish.

What Makes This Product Unique:

• Complex and Mature Flavor: Notes of cocoa, tobacco, licorice, and sweet fruits provide depth and balance.
