  • Rehydrate in warm water for 10 minutes, then blend into sauce, toast and grind for homemade ancho powder, or use in Mexican mole sauces.

With less heat than your average chilli, you can safely take a good whiff of the ancho chilli. The complexity of its aroma is tantalising - sweet yet smoky, with notes of caramel and molasses. Add to chilli con carne or meat dishes such as spaghetti bolognese where a balance of sweetness and heat is required. These whole dried pods need rehydrating in warm water before blending into sauces, or can be toasted and ground fresh for a more vibrant, aromatic powder, ideal for traditional mole sauces.

FAQs

A single origin spice comes from one specific growing region, rather than being combined with other spices into a blend. Because it's not mixed with anything else, you get the true, unaltered flavour of that spice.

A blend (like a Ras El Hanout or Souvlaki Rub) combines multiple spices to create a new, layered flavour. A single origin spice is just one ingredient on its own, which can be used in cooking, to create your own blends, or to season a dish with a distinct flavour.

We source each spice from its authentic land of origin, or from wherever in the world the quality is best. That's why you'll find, for example, Tasmanian Pepperberry, French Lavender and Cinnamon from Sri Lanka in our range, each is chosen because that region grows or produces it best.

Many of our ground single origin spices are milled locally in small batches to lock in freshness, rather than being milled overseas months before reaching Australian shelves. Whole spices are packed as they arrive from origin, so you can grind or use them as needed.
