Mole Negro is our black mole.  It gets its dark color and flavor profile from toasting the ingredients until they turn a dark color.  This sauce is more of a rustic version of the mole having a very unique texture.  We use black dried chiles from Mexico and habaneros to enhance the intense spice and Mexican chocolate flavors of this sauce.     
El Molcajete Sauces Mole Negro is a rich, deeply complex Oaxacan sauce crafted with authentic, traditional ingredients and slow-roasted techniques. Known as one of the most celebrated moles of Oaxaca, it balances smoky, earthy, and slightly sweet flavors with a subtle hint of bitterness from dark chiles and toasted spices.
