CHIPOTLE PEPPERS

A chipotle pepper is a red Jalapeno chile, ripened, dried, and smoked through a special process. Derived from the Aztec word meaning smoke, jalapenos are placed over huge pits and smoke is blown through tunnels running underground.
Chipotle Characteristics - A unique warm heat and smoky flavor , chipotles are packed in a red adobo sauce made from lightly seasoned tomato broth.
Embasa chipotles are completely shielded from all the elements during processing to produce an exceptional product.
