Mexico’s Sweet, Smoky Chili
Ancho peppers—dried poblanos known for their deep reddish-brown color—excel when transformed into paste or purée. Their naturally rich, fruity profile becomes concentrated and velvety, delivering mild heat (1,000 to 2,000 SHU) with a balanced blend of sweetness, earthiness, and gentle smokiness.
In paste or purée form, Ancho’s signature raisin-like and tangy notes add body and complexity to sauces, marinades, mole bases, rubs, and seasoning concentrates. The smooth texture and deep color make it an essential ingredient for applications requiring both visual impact and slow-building flavor.
BCFoods’ Ancho offerings are additive-free and non-GMO, with Craft Smoked varieties available for customers seeking an even deeper, more aromatic flavor profile in their pastes and purées.
