{"product_id":"chipotles-dulces","title":"Smoke Molasses","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe chile chipotle is the soul of this jar — chīlpōctli in Nahuatl, “smoked chile”, the mature red\u0026nbsp;jalapeño of Veracruz and Puebla after seventy-two slow hours over pecan, oak or mesquite smoke.\u0026nbsp;The transformation is total: a green-grass jalapeño becomes leather-dark, oil-rich, deeply phenolic,\u0026nbsp;carrying the canonical Mexican smoke aromatic that no other chile delivers. Two grades make their\u0026nbsp;way to the kitchen — meco (oak-tan-grey, large, dry, the more intense) and morita (smaller, mulberry-\u0026nbsp;brown, with a fruity-resinous edge). The chipotle is the lead here, not the seasoning. The cane sugar\u0026nbsp;is the slow-cooking medium, softening the dried flesh into a spoonable conserve and converting to\u0026nbsp;dark caramel as it goes; onion lends allium body; bay laurel threads a green-aromatic Mediterranean\u0026nbsp;signal that grounds the Mexican smoke; sea salt structures; citric and ascorbic acid stabilise. The\u0026nbsp;result is dense, dark-mahogany, three-layered — smoke first, then sweet, then heat — with each layer\u0026nbsp;holding the next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"zales-and-rego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57142206792063,"sku":"SAL-1103","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/9439\/8847\/files\/melaza-de-humo.jpg?v=1778061287","url":"https:\/\/www.zalesrego.com\/en\/products\/chipotles-dulces","provider":"Zales \u0026 Rego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
