Chile de Árbol

Smoky • Grassy • Very Hot

A Classic Mexican Chili

Chile de Árbol produces a bold, fiery paste or purée known for its bright brick-red color and distinctive smoky, grassy flavor. With a heat range of 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, it delivers a sharp, acidic kick that energizes sauces, salsas, chili bases, and spicy condiments.

In paste or purée form, its vivid color and clean, assertive heat integrate smoothly into a wide range of Latin American and global applications. Grown in Mexico, our Chile de Árbol is additive-free and non-GMO, offering a clean-label option with reliable intensity.

Available formats: Fermented, Acidified, Frozen
