Chimayo Red Chile

Chimayo Red Chile is much more than a cooking ingredient...Chimayo Red Chile is an essential part of the very core of Northern New Mexico culture, dating back hundreds of years. It is deeply rooted in the traditions of native people and the proud farmers who have tended this remarkable pepper for generations. Using heirloom seeds, today they continue to bring to life Chimayo Red from the fervid soil of the Rio Grande valley, moistened by the clear waters from the Sangre de Cristo Mountain snowmelt and baked by the intense Northern New Mexico sun.
