The Fresh Form of Pasilla
Chilaca peppers—known for their earthy, tangy, and slightly sweet profile—produce a smooth, mild paste or purée ideal for adding depth without overwhelming heat. With a gentle pungency of 1,000 to 2,500 SHU, chilaca paste brings balanced flavor and rich, dark color to sauces, stews, seasoning bases, and Mexican-inspired formulations.
In paste or purée form, chilaca peppers deliver a smooth, concentrated base that blends easily into sauces and culinary formulations. Their mild heat and nuanced flavor make them an excellent foundation chili, adding body, color, and character while allowing other ingredients to shine.
Available formats: Fermented, Acidified, Fresh Frozen, Frozen
