Chili Maven

Mexican chilli flavour for UK kitchens

Chili Maven brings Mexican salsa macha and mole products to the UK. Founder Alexa Fernandez describes searching for producers whose sauces matched the flavour she knew from home, before working with Sergio and Jacqueline, who have long experience making salsa macha in Mexico. The business presents the products as condiments that add chilli, texture and depth to everyday meals.

Salsa macha and mole

The pictured salsa macha range includes a mild and smoky jar and a spicier, nuttier option. The mole selection includes pipian rojo, adobo and almendrado mixes. These products have different flavour profiles and heat levels, so a buyer can choose according to the dish rather than treating all Mexican chilli sauces as interchangeable. The site provides explanations of salsa macha, ways to use it and recipes for cooking with the range.

Buying and learning

Customers can order directly or ask about wholesale supply. Chili Maven has also advertised a masterclass on Mexican chillies, covering fresh and dried varieties and their use in mole and salsa. Such events are occasional and should not be assumed to be running on any given date. The website displayed free shipping above a stated order value when the profile was prepared; current delivery terms and product stock should be checked during checkout.
