If you’ve ever bitten into a smoky Hatch chile, you already know: this pepper is more than just produce—it’s a flavor obsession. And every summer, our legendary Hatch Chile Roast becomes a hotter local event. It’s finally here.
What Makes Hatch Chiles So Special?
Hatch chiles aren’t just any pepper. They’re grown exclusively in Hatch, NM, where the unique mix of rich soil, hot days, and cool nights gives them their one-of-a-kind flavor. Think of them as the Champagne of the chile world—if it doesn’t come from Hatch, you can’t use the name.
Flavor Profile: From Mild to Wild
One of the best things about Hatch chiles is their versatility. They range from mild (great for layering into sandwiches and casseroles) to hot (perfect for a fiery salsa). No matter your heat preference, there’s a Hatch chile for you.
Mild Hatch chiles → smoky, slightly sweet, with a gentle warmth.
Medium Hatch chiles → balanced kick without overwhelming spice.
Hot Hatch chiles → bold, fiery, and perfect for chile heads.

Fresh or roasted, Hatch chiles bring instant Southwestern flair to your kitchen. Here are a few fun, easy ideas:
Roast & Freeze: Stock up now and freeze roasted chiles to enjoy all year long.
