Our Smoked Chipotle chili peppers were grown on Fire Tongue Farm in California and smoked over fruit tree branches pruned from a nearby orchard.
A chipotle is a smoked jalapeño pepper, so these are the darker, deeper siblings to our El Jefe–variety Red Jalapeños. They're medium-hot and are perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit.

United StatesI ordered these Smoked Chipotle Flakes because they sounded interesting and different. So far, I’ve sprinkled them on my eggs and avacado toast and love them. A very unique taste - not too hot, just right. I’m looking forward to our weather cooling off here enough in Central Florida for that first batch of chili so I can add this flavor to my chili spice mix!
United StatesI am playing with the Smoked Chipolte, learning the flavor intensity, as you advise! So much fun! Everyone who enters my kitchen is introduced to your spices, beginning with the fragrance of WILD MOUNTAIN CUMIN.
United StatesLove everything about Burlap & Barrel, especially their fresh and flavorful spices!
