Ancho (translating to "wide" in Spanish) is the name given to dried Poblano chillies. These sweet, fruity and smokey chillies have a mild heat and are fantastic in soups, stews, salsas and anywhere subtle smokey notes are needed. Like tomatoes, the process of drying chillies unlocks a whole new range of flavours not available in the fresh product. We'd recommend experimenting with our range of dried chillies to explore this exciting world of flavour!
