There are certain flavours and smells that bring you instantly back to México. Salsas and sauces made with toasted dried chillies, tortillas fresh from the comal, Mexican chocolate whipped into a hot frothy drink, Mexican oregano rubbed over pozole, black beans bubbling in a pot with epazote. Earthy, warm flavours and smells, associated with Mexican markets and street foods.
México is home to many unique ingredients from chillies, tomatoes, tomatillos and corn; to vanilla, chocolate and herbs such as epazote. Enabling a rich and regional cuisine that includes dishes such as mole poblano, pozole, barbacoa, tamales, colourful salsas and sauces.
In México chillies are not just used as spices but as vegetables too. They name their chillies lovingly according to their shape or taste. Chile Ancho (wide) is named because of its broad shoulders; it has a sweet fruity flavour and dark wrinkly skin. Chile Guajillo (little gourd) is tangy, brick red with a smooth pod shape. Chile Chipotle on the other hand is a smoked, spicy jalapeño. Chile Habanero meaning from Havana are deliciously fruity and viciously hot. These are just 4 of the varieties out of many that we stock!
Corn tortillas are the plate, spoon and napkin of Mexican street food. We have a new machine called "el monstro" this machine makes 3500 tortillas per hour! More importantly they are delicious soft corn tortillas, GM free and free from preservative. Or for rainy Sundays you can make your own as we have masa harina and tortilla presses.
Essential for mole poblano and hot frothy drinks we roast and grind cocoa nibs with sugar, almonds and cinnamon to make Mexican chocolate.
We also produce our own range of salsas and sauces. Smoky chile chipotle is made into chipotle in adobo, chipotle oil, chipotle ketchup and chipotle salsa. Chile habanero is used in our table hot sauce. We make mole poblano easy by making a paste using chile ancho and chile pasilla, nuts and Mexican chocolate so all you need to do is add stock. Plus tomatillo salsa for chilaquiles and enchiladas, achiote for conchinita pibil, pickled jalapeños to accompany fish and much more!
