WHAT IT IS

What It Is

Vaquero Chile Morita is a smoky chile oil made with Morita chiles, roasted garlic, and avocado oil—built for cooking and finishing.

It brings deep, smoky, savory flavor without overwhelming heat. Spoon it into food while it cooks, or add it at the end when something needs one more move.

MORE THAN A CONDIMENT.
