Dried Ancho Mulato Chillies (Imported)

The Mulato Chilli is a mild and very popular Mexican chilli. The fruits are dried once fully ripe - a deep chocolate colour. This chilli is widely used in Mexican cooking to make mild and fruity flavoured sauces (mole). The dried fruits are about 2.5" wide and 4" long and heart-shaped.

Information

Contents: 100g bag - approximately 6 chilles. Heat: 2/10. Must be cooked before eating.

The Mulato Chilli should not be confused with the Ancho Chilli. And sometimes the term 'Ancho Mulato' is used which is technically incorrect and can be confusing. Both the Ancho and Mulato Chillies are dried forms of the Poblano Chilli. The Ancho version is made when the fruits are ripened to a red colour whereas the Mulato version is made when the fruits have ripened further more than red and have turned a chocolaty brown colour.
