Common questions
How hot is Smoky Árbol?
It has a balanced medium heat. Chile de árbol gives it a bright kick right away. Start with a few drops and add more to taste.
What does it taste like?
It’s tangy with mellow wood smoke from chipotle meco. Guajillo gives the sauce body and a gentle fruitiness, and chile de árbol adds a toasted, nutty note along with its heat.
What is chipotle meco?
Chipotle meco is a ripe jalapeño that’s smoked and dried. It’s typically smoked longer than chipotle morita, which gives it a deeper, woodier flavor. In Smoky Árbol, that smoke comes through gently, so you can still taste the guajillo and chile de árbol.
Is it vegan?
Yes. Smoky Árbol is made entirely with plant-based ingredients. It contains no gums or thickeners.
