Chili Powder, Hatch Red, New Mexico

Nestled in the center of the Rio Grande agricultural territory and located 37 miles north of Las Cruces is Hatch, New Mexico, the self-proclaimed Chile Capital of the World. The soil and growing conditions in the Hatch Valley are said by locals to create a unique terroir (like wine terroirs) which is responsible for the flavor of chile grown there.
The pepper sourced for this chile powder is the New Mexico Guizeppi varietal and it is grown, harvested and ground on a farm in Hatch, New Mexico that’s been part of the Lytle family for generations. It possesses an earthy, sweet flavor with hints of acidity, weediness, and dried cherry undertones.
