Mole Negro from Oaxaca - Black Mole Paste by Juquilita - 17 oz17 oz

This is splendid mole, with great flavors, adequate heat. But preparing it is tedious. It is quite difficult to 'melt' it and become absorbed in a chicken stock, even with heating up. But it tastes so good that it is worth the extra time to wait for it to more or less completely dissolve.

Flavour is authentic. easy and quick to prepare with stock and a versatile mole' that can enhance many dishes.

If you or your abuela ever made Mole' Negro, you love this easy way to have it often.

It doesn't list Chiles Huacle Negros in the ingredients, but unless you made it yourself with these hard to get chiles, you won't notice. If you have used the Chiles Huacle Negros, you probably won't notice either. Even if you do, just remember, you didn't have to find all the ingredients besides the hard to source Huacles, do the prep and grinding, and hours long simmering and stirring. Good trade off!

Because this mole'is not 'hot'it is perfect to introduce to first-timers and chile adverse friends and family. Might experiment with some new ideas. I tried it with some fresh halibut. Usually just reconstitute the paste with just chix stock and pinch of salt, but with the halibut added a squirt of tomato paste and pinch of sweet Spanish paprika.

Really good!

I could eat mole everyday!! It arrived quickly and fresh as usual!!

I use a fresh tomato and after frying it with the paste, adding a little veggie stock, it's pretty much amazing with any meat. Everything about it is spot on!

I love this mole! prepared as indicated is tasty, is a bit spicy but really good!

This Mole paste is great, I bought it at a grocery store in California and it is the best paste I have bought and made. I like to make my own but it takes 4 hours to make. So I will be ordering on line or picking it up when I go to California.

I had never liked mole even though our family use to make it on a regular basis. Even though the brand my grandmother and mother use to buy was a very popular brand you see everywhere, but to me it had a weird taste. Everytime they said that the family was making mole with rice and beans, I only had rice and beans. UNTIL... I tasted mole juquilita! I had no idea mole tasted this great! Now this is the brand I buy regularly. It is awesome! This is mole!

Living in Vermont, I am lucky to find Doña Maria mole paste, which is fine. But I decided to order the Mole Negra from Oaxaca from mexgrocer.com, and it's really fantastic. Really wonderful that I can get this here in Vermont! The mail service was excellent -- I expect to use mexgrocer.com regularly for hard-to-find items like this.

The black mole is wonderful. Very fast shipping.
