Ancho Reyes Verde
For Ancho Reyes Verde, the chiles are harvested earlier, while green. A portion of the poblano chiles are fire roasted expressing a bright, crisp, and fresh heat. Imbued with chile flavor, the resulting liquid is then hand-blended by our Maestra Maceradora – or Master Blender, to maintain consistent flavor and spice. Finally, the mixture rests allowing the flavors to combine perfectly and prepare for bottling.
