Chipotle chilli powder adds a hint of smoky spice to sauces, marinades and slow-cooked chilli con carne. Made from medium-hot jalapeño chillies, the deep red powder has an unmistakable aroma with notes of wood smoke and molasses. It’s an essential ingredient in Mexican cuisine and is also used in Tex-Mex recipes and dishes from the American Southwest.

The warming heat of chipotle chilli powder works well in anything slow-cooked, from soups and stews to slow-braised pork and lamb for tacos and enchiladas. A small pinch will add instant smoky spice to barbecue sauce, fresh salsa and dry rubs for grilled meat. Try sprinkling it over buttered, barbecued corn to eat al fresco with a cold beer.

Dodie Miller, founder of Cool Chile Co, believes that there are certain warm, earthy flavours and smells that instantly transport you to Mexico. Whether it's salsas and sauces made with toasted dried chillies, tortillas fresh from the comal, Mexican oregano rubbed over pozole, or black beans bubbling in a pot with epazote, these are the tastes and spice sensations that they want to bring into your home.

Store in a cool, dry place.
