This mole negro is inspired by Oaxacan tradition, with deep, ashy notes and a mellow heat that feels grounded and expressive. Layered and mineral-driven, it’s a natural match for duck, poultry, eggs, or white rice, and works beautifully as a dish on its own.

Rooted in centuries-old recipes and traditional techniques, each of XILLI's products are crafted by hand using fresh ingredients and a deep respect for culinary heritage. Chilies—xilli, the original Nahuatl word for chile—are at the heart of everything they make, bringing depth, warmth, and vitality to each preparation.

XILLI’s work honors the flavors of home cooking while thoughtfully adapting tradition with modern knowledge, creating products that feel authentic, generous, and alive. Their mission is to elevate understanding of Mexican cuisine, support local communities, and contribute meaningfully to the living legacy of Mexico’s food traditions.
