Hatch Chile: Smoky, Seasonal, Fire-Roasted Flavor
The short-season pepper worth planning your menu around.
A SHORT SEASON, A BIG MOMENT
Hatch Chile, the Pepper Everyone Waits For
Hatch chiles are prized for their distinctive smoky-sweet flavor and moderate heat, grown in New Mexico’s Hatch Valley under conditions that give them a flavor no other chile quite matches. Best known fire-roasted and peeled, they’re a seasonal highlight for salsas, stews, and specialty menu features. At Latin Specialties, we bring in Hatch chiles at the height of the season for the best flavor and heat.
Smoky, seasonal, and worth the wait—Hatch chile is a flavor moment, not just a pepper.
