Mexico is home to a fascinating tradition of chillies changing names as they transform. Fresh poblano peppers become anchos when dried; fresh jalapeños become chipotles when smoked; and chilacas become pasillas when dried. Each transformation reveals an entirely new character from the same fruit.
Ancho is a perfect example: what begins as a fresh green poblano becomes something darker, sweeter and more complex with drying — a chilli prized not simply for heat, but for its extraordinary depth of flavour.
A pantry essential for adding richness, warmth and authentic Mexican character to both savoury and sweet dishes.
Very happy with all the spices we purchased. They come in convenient resealable bags which is great.

I made an onion pancake using dukkah as a spice in the onions and sprinkling some dukkah on top of the finished pancake with some fried dried shallots for flavour. The dukkah added so uch depth of flavour it was mouth watering and sizzled on the tastebuds. I will be using dukkah regularly from now on.

I bought online for the spice people have not been to their store but it's always like nicely packaged and comes when I need it to be arriving so that's all I can add to that.
