Our Cobanero Chili Flakes are a rare Maya variety of chili pepper with a fierce, bright, slightly smoky heat and a lush, fruity, peachy aroma. The chilis are grown in the mountains around the city of Cobán, Guatemala. They're spicier than serrano peppers and in the same range as cayenne. Perfect for anyone who appreciates true chili flavor!

See how this compares to our other chilis.

  • To stay true to Silverton’s philosophy to “keep it really simple and use the best ingredients [you] can find,” we recommend opting for high-quality chile flakes such as Burlap & Barrel’s Cobanero Chili Flakes.
