Manzano: Fruity, Fiery, Unlike Any Other Chile
The apple-shaped pepper with real bite.
THICK FLESH, BOLD HEAT
Manzano, the Pepper Unlike Any Other
Manzano peppers stand apart with their thick, apple-like flesh, black seeds, and fruity, tropical heat that builds slowly and lingers. Popular in traditional salsas across Mexico and South America, manzano brings a distinctive bite that’s hard to substitute. At Latin Specialties, we source manzano peppers for consistent heat and quality, case after case.
Fruity, fiery, and unlike any other chile—manzano stands in a class of its own.

Cooked salsa recipe
Salsa de Chile Manzano
Roasted manzano chiles simmered with tomatillos and garlic: a fruity, hot green-gold salsa.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 Latin Specialties Manzano chiles
- 10 Latin Specialties Tomatillo, husked
- 4 cloves Latin Specialties Garlic
- 2 tsp oil
- 2 cups water, salt to taste
Method
- Roast the manzano chiles in a skillet with the oil until blistered. Remove the stems and, for less heat, the seeds.
- Simmer the chiles with the tomatillos and garlic in the water for 10 minutes.
- Blend until smooth with salt, adjusting the water to the texture you like.
TipWear gloves when handling manzano: it is much hotter than its mild look suggests.
