Flavor profile and cooking
Mulato chili has been used consistently for hundreds of years in Mexican cooking. It is part of the “holy trinity” of chiles used in Mexican sauces, along with Ancho and Pasilla chiles and often Guajillo chiles. Mulato has chocolate or licorice flavors, with a hint of cherry and tobacco. As Mulato is dried, it is commonly ground into chili powder.
Mulato’s delicate smoky flavor makes it very popular in many different kinds of Mexican dishes.
How hot is a Mulato chili?
Unlike many Mexican chilies, this chili pepper is actually very low on the heat scale. Most people can eat Mulato like a banana or bell pepper and not experience a huge heat boost. The Mulato measures 2,500 to 3,000 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville scale. Compared to the popular jalapeño pepper, which averages around 5,000 SHU, you can see that Mulato is about half as hot.
