El Cielo - Pasilla Chile Powder

Also known as chilli negro, is a dried form of chilaca chili pepper. Its flavor profile is rich and smoky, with notes of earthiness. It is commonly used in mole, stews, salsas, and adobo sauces, adding a mild-to-moderate heat, with a Scoville heat rating (SHU) of 1500-2500.
