AAA - Chipotle Morita Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Chipotle Morita Pepper Puree

The "Little Blackberry" of Chiles—Rich Smokiness with a Sweet, Aged Complexity.

Overview

Our natural Chipotle Morita packs a versatile and savory heat at 5,000 to 10,000 (SHUs). Named for its dark, raisin-like appearance, the Morita provides a steady warmth that is a cornerstone of authentic Mexican cuisine. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky, sweet, and chocolatey flavor! Our Chipotle Morita fermented puree is medium-hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the depth of flavor is immediate, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Chipotle Morita is a red-ripe Jalapeño that is smoked for a shorter period than the "Meco" variety, resulting in a softer pepper that retains its fruity essence. Intense Flavor and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers are pampered in the smokehouse to achieve their signature reddish-black color and wrinkled texture. This traditional smoking process, combined with our natural fermentation, gives the puree a unique, concentrated aromatic profile.

The Experience

Chipotle Moritas are known to be a favorite among professional chefs and BBQ enthusiasts! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' chipotles. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree is perfect in measured doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For a bold rustic finish, just add more directly on top!

Looking for a Different Kick?

Customize the heat: If you love the smoky profile but want to adjust the intensity, you can blend our Chipotle Morita puree with our Red Habanero for extra sting or mix it with our Red Poblano Mulato to deepen the dark, earthy notes. This allows you to capture the fruity-sweet essence of the Morita while tailoring the heat to your exact preference.
