Whole Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita 1oz

What is Selefina Whole Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita 1oz?

Selefina Whole Chipotle Chile Pepper Morita 1oz consists of whole, dried chipotle peppers known as 'moritas'—a term meaning 'small mulberry' due to their dark red, wrinkled appearance after smoking. Unlike fresh jalapeños, these peppers ripen fully on the plant, then undergo a traditional smoking process in sealed chambers for several days. This method intensifies their flavor, creating a deep, smoky heat with subtle berry-like undertones. Sourced and packed by Selefina and sold by Adagio Teas, this 1oz package offers a convenient way to bring authentic, artisanal spice to home cooking.
