Our seasoning blends and herbs are the purest and freshest available. All herbs are dried naturally and packaged either whole or ground.
There are no fillers, additives, or other fooling around with our spices, seasoning blends or herbs. Our chile products are 100% New Mexico chile. This means that you will either use less in your recipes, or you will have a richer, more fully flavored (and probably hotter) dish.
Chiles are grown throughout the state of New Mexico, but there are two principal centers for chile production.
The Mesilla Valley, in the Southeastern part of the state is where you find the small town of Hatch. Hatch has become synonymous with chile. Hatch green chile are famous for their thick and flavorful flesh, and they are the perfect chile for making traditional egg battered chile rellenos. When ripened to a bright red, and dried and ground, the Hatch chile flavor matures to furnish a silky smooth complex heat that is both sophisticated and demanding of attention. The Hatch chile experience is transcendent.
The northern New Mexico commercial chile growing region is centered on the town of Chimayo. Grown at almost 8000 feet, the Chimayo chiles develop a less complex flavor than the chile grown at 4000 feet in the Mesilla valley, but the raw bold flavor of the Chimayo chile is more favored by cooks who prefer an earthy richness in their chile.
