This rich, savory blend is inspired by Mexico's ancient Aztec civilization, which used Cocoa and Chiles to create a spicy cocoa drink that is the stuff of lore. We source Cacao Nibs from Brazil's Amazon rainforest and mix them with Ancho Chiles from Guanajuato, Mexico to form a luxurious, bittersweet flavor base that boasts a mature, subtle heat. The addition of traditional Mexican spices balances the blend, paying respect to the flavors that inspired Mexico's famous mole sauces. We recommend this blend in meat and vegetable dishes, though it also makes a fabulous, exotic dry rub.
