If you are wondering what chipotle peppers actually are, look no further! They are simply smoked jalapeno chili peppers. They date back to the Aztec civilization in the region that is now northern Mexico City. Historians and foodies alike guess that the Aztecs smoked these peppers because the jalapeno was too difficult to dry due to its thick, fleshy skin. If the peppers weren’t dried or smoked in time, they tended to rot. But once the chilies were properly smoked, they could be stored for a quite a long time.
Today, chipotle peppers are used in so many different ways including stuffing them into olives! From the famous Santa Barbara Olive Company we get chipotle pepper stuffed olives. The company uses Sevallano olives, which are a very large, green variety that have low oil content and are typically brine cured. Also known as Queen olives, many types of gourmet stuffed olives are made with Sevallano olives. The olives are hand stuffed with fire roasted chipotle peppers. The peppers are quite spicy and deliver a deliciously rich flavor along with the kick you crave. These olives are touted as a wonderful garnish for cocktails and are great for spicing up the hors d’oeuvres at your next dinner party. |
