Ancho Espresso
Bringing that flavour of Mexico to your kitchen.
As Ancho chillies pair well with such a wide range of different spices, we fused it with dark roasted espresso coffee, a specially curated blend of herb’s, spices, and some sweet notes. Adding a rich depth and powerful flavour to whatever dish it touches and although you may think it is ging to be hot! it really isn’t.
Ancho Chilli peppers are unripe dried poblano peppers and are renowned for their rich, sweet, chocolatey, and smoky flavour and a mild heat. Combine that with the earthiness of espresso coffee and our special mix of herbs and spices we have created an incredible and unique blend.
Their rich, mild, and sweet flavours form the foundation of countless salsas, stews, moles, and meat marinades. It should come as no surprise that Ancho chiles are the most widely used chilli pepper in Mexico. The name “Ancho” is even Spanish for wide, but that is actually a nod to the dried chilli’s stout appearance.
Use Ancho Espresso as a seasoning rub for Beef, Pork, Chicken and Vegetables. Also great as an seasoning for stews and braises.
If you're looking to make a great marinade for your beef, combine 1 tablespoon of Ancho Espresso with a few tablespoons of olive oil, a crushed garlic clove, a splash of red wine and a pinch of salt - Delicious.
Grill it! Braise it! Smoke it! Roast it! BBQ it! Chef it!
