Dried mulato chile is a large, dark brown, wrinkled pepper made from fully ripened poblano chiles. It offers deep chocolate, raisin, and licorice notes with gentle heat, softens to a supple texture when rehydrated, and is typically toasted and soaked before blending into moles, adobos, and salsas; sold whole or ground as powder.\n\nGrown and dried primarily in central Mexico, especially Puebla, it is a cornerstone of traditional Mexican cookery, notably mole poblano. Poblanos are harvested fully mature, air- or sun-dried, and traded widely across North America and beyond.
