Olde Thompson Dark Chili Powder is a premium spice blend made primarily from roasted ancho peppers, combined with complementary spices including cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. This dark blend delivers a rich, earthy, and smoky flavor profile with subtle berry and fruity notes, making it ideal for authentic Mexican cuisine and slow-cooked dishes.

Unlike regular chili powder, this dark variety undergoes longer roasting times to develop deeper, more complex flavors. Despite its darker color, it is actually milder in heat (1,000-2,000 Scoville units) compared to standard chili powder blends. The 6-pound commercial-size container provides excellent value for frequent home cooking, restaurants, or food service applications.

This kosher-certified spice blend excels in Texas-style chili con carne, Mexican moles, BBQ rubs, stews, and any recipe requiring smoky depth and authentic southwestern flavor. The ancho pepper base provides natural sweetness and umami that enhances ground meat, egg dishes, and vegetable preparations. Olde Thompson has been crafting quality spices since 1944, sourcing ingredients through deeply-rooted relationships with farmers worldwide to ensure consistent flavor and quality from farm to kitchen.
