An ancient and rare variety from Oaxaca, Mexico. These medium hot peppers are traditionally dried and used in mole sauce type dishes. They have a rich, robust, earthy, slightly smoky-sweet flavor that lasts on the tongue. The pods are thin-walled and can be used fresh, dried, and cooked.

This variety was grown only in a small area of La Cañada, just outside of Oaxaca, Mexico for millennia. The name chilhuacle [chee-WAH-clee] means "old chile" in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, suggesting that it was already an ancient domesticated variety when they rose to power. Non-Isolated. 

SHU: 1,000-2,000
