Deeply aromatic, subtly sweet and wonderfully mild, Ancho Chilli Powder brings the soul of Mexico to your kitchen.

Ancho chilli is the dried form of the poblano pepper, transformed as it ripens into a deep, mahogany-red chilli with a flavour far richer and more complex than its gentle heat might suggest.

Our Ancho Chilli Powder has a beautifully rounded profile of dried fruit, warm spice, bittersweet cocoa and gentle smokiness, with little to no fiery heat. Naturally varying from harvest to harvest, each lot can bring subtle differences in colour, aroma and flavour, a reflection of the season and the peppers from which it is made.

With a mild heat level of approximately 500–4,000 Scoville Heat Units, ancho is less about chilli heat and more about building depth. It forms the rich, bittersweet foundation behind many Mexican-inspired dishes and is a beautiful addition to chilli, mole, enchilada sauces, marinades, meat rubs and slow-cooked stews.

And its affinity with chocolate is something worth discovering. A pinch stirred through dark chocolate desserts, brownies, cakes or hot chocolate intensifies the richness of the chocolate while adding a subtle warmth and complexity without overwhelming heat.

Description How to Use Ingredients

From Poblano to Ancho

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.

Use Ancho Chilli Powder to add richness, depth and gentle warmth without overpowering a dish with heat.

Mexican cooking: Stir into chilli, tacos, enchiladas, mole and smoky tomato sauces.
Meat & vegetables: Add to marinades, spice rubs or roasted vegetables for a deep, bittersweet flavour.
Sauces & stews: Whisk into sauces, soups and slow-cooked dishes to build layers of flavour.
Chocolate & baking: Add a small pinch to brownies, chocolate cakes or hot chocolate to intensify the richness of cocoa.
Everyday seasoning: Sprinkle into beans, eggs, rice or roasted potatoes whenever you want a little more depth.

Start with ½ teaspoon per serve and adjust to taste. Ancho is prized for its flavour rather than its heat, making it wonderfully versatile for everyday cooking.
