Don Chilio Serrano Chile Crisp
Premium serrano peppers are picked at peak ripeness before being sliced, dried and gently crisped in seasoned extra-virgin olive oil. The aroma when you open the jar is akin to a freshly sliced green serrano. Fresh and aromatic, with an herbal, grassy fruitiness and spicy kick. And yet, they are pale brown, dried and fried to delicate crispy perfection. Delicately crispy, these chiles can easily be crushed into a spicy, textural topping for myriad savory dishes. Since they are dried before frying, the flavor becomes concentrated without getting too much of a cooked taste. It also means that the beautifully crispy texture can be achieved faster than if starting with fresh, and less cooking means maintaining the character of the serrano pepper—as opposed to cooking it so long or hard that it fades into a generic “fried chile” flavor. Although we carry other crispy chili products in our store in the way of sauces and oils, these crips set themselves apart from the bunch—yielding only the bold taste of serrano and an audibly crunchy texture.
