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!

  • I love Burlap & Barrel’s lightly smoky Cobanero Chili Flakes for pretty much everything when I want to feel warm.
  • The burnished red flakes add a bright fruitiness and tantalizing spiciness unlike the straightforward heat of standard crushed red pepper.
  • It's a hot, fruity and tangy chili pepper that works great on everything from pizza to stir fries
