  • Green Pipian (called pipian because is elaborated with pumpkin pip)

Do you want to know the differences? We explain them here!

Mole Poblano is typical of the Puebla region, but because of its unique flavors, it has spread throughout Mexico and the world.

Black Mole or Mole Oaxaqueño is characteristic of Oaxaca. As its name mentions, this mole is well known in Mexico for its unique flavors and its complexity, as it takes many ingredients for its elaboration.

These moles are characterised by the use of pumpkin seeds. The most typical regions where they are found are Tlaxcala, Puebla, and Mexico City

Mole Ranchero does not have a specific region, but rather that was the name given to the mole that was made in the rancherias or settlements. The bases, like the other moles, were the same, but in the rancherías, not having so many ingredients, they used what they had at hand and often things that were not common in the cities, which gave it a different flavour and made it very popular.

What is Salsa Macha?

Its origin is disputed between Oaxaca and Veracruz, both states use roasted chillies and seeds mixed with vegetable oil. The original salsa macha must contain morita pepper, sesame seeds, garlic, coarse pepper and peanuts. First the peppers must be roasted together with the seeds, then they are ground with vegetable oil and thus preserved for a long time. It is served with fish, meat, seafood and Mexican snacks. Its intense and spicy flavour is highly valued in the cuisine of the south of the country.

Each state has its own version, for example, in Oaxaca it is prepared with grasshoppers and cascabel pepper, in Veracruz with morita pepper, peanuts and seeds. In the city's markets you can find different versions of salsas, some with pasilla, mulato, arbol or cascabel peppers, mixed with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and insects.
