Uses:

(Pronounced pah-SEE-yah)

Pasilla (meaning "little raisin") Chiles are dark raisin brown, long, wrinkled and tapered. Measuring 5 to 7 inches long and about 1-1/2 inches wide. The Pasilla Chile, along with the ancho and mulato chiles make up the "holy trinity" of chiles used in the preparation of traditional mole sauce. Also used in powdered form. Melissa’s dried chiles, sold under the Don Enrique label (Melissa’s own line of Latin items), have a more distinctive taste than the same versions sold fresh since the process of drying chiles also brings out their flavor.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa’s Dried Chiles are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose whole, unbroken chiles with deep color and a fresh scent. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place for up to six months or more.
