Chile Pasilla
Seco
"Little raisin." Long, slender, near-black when dried. Tobacco, dark cocoa, and dried plum on the nose. The backbone of mole negro and the deepest red sauces.
Same chile 18 wholesale buyers are running through their lines this week. Slow-cured at our own dehydration plant in Zacatecas, lot-traced to a Dallas pallet today — quote in 24, ship in 48 to every U.S. state and Canadian province.
Repeat orders from over a third of our wholesale accounts.
We don't take pre-orders. We don't drop-ship from Mexico. Every pound we list is sitting in our Dallas warehouse — counted, graded, and on a pallet today.
Lots commit weekly — pricing on the current pasilla and ancho lots locks Friday at noon CT.
Lock my pricingWe don't carry forty SKUs. We carry two — the chiles our buyers actually run through their lines.
"Little raisin." Long, slender, near-black when dried. Tobacco, dark cocoa, and dried plum on the nose. The backbone of mole negro and the deepest red sauces.
"Wide one." The dried form of the poblano — broad, heart-shaped, mahogany. Sweet raisin, tamarind, and roasted coffee. Soul of the holy trinity for mole.
Two cultivars, one source. Side-by-side spec sheets — heat curve, flavor depth, harvest window, and the process behind every pound on our floor.
The pipeline is short on purpose. Four hands touch the chile between the field and your dock — grower, dryer, packer, driver. Nothing in between.
