Chipotle

The chipotle pepper is a smoked, dried jalapeño pepper. When jalapeño peppers are a deep red and have lost much of their moisture, they are selected to be made into chipotles. They’re moved to a smoking chamber and are wood smoked for several days. Therefore, the underlying heat of the jalapeño is combined with the taste of smoke to impart an earthy and mild degree of spiciness to this fabulous extra virgin olive oil.

Suggested Uses:
Add to salsas. Use as marinade when grilling beef, chicken or seafood. Put a generous amount in the bottom of a heavy kettle and pop some popcorn to make a delicious and healthy snack. Use in dressings and omelets.

Pairs With:
Black Cherry Balsamic to make “The Firecracker” – brush on ribs before grilling. Pair with Dark Chocolate Balsamic to make “The Holy Mole!”, and brush “The Spicy Pear” (Chipotle + Cinnamon Pear Balsamic) on steak before grilling.
