This condiment stands out for its intense, slightly sweet, smoky flavor and a moderate level of spiciness that enriches a wide variety of recipes.

The origin of chipotle mustard is closely linked to Mexican cuisine, where chipotle is a traditionally used ingredient to add depth and a smoky touch to different dishes. The fusion with mustard, typical of European cuisine, results in a versatile condiment ideal for dressing meats, sauces, marinades, and accompanying sausages or roasted vegetables.

Regarding its properties, chipotle mustard is low in calories and may contain antioxidants provided by the chipotle pepper, such as capsaicin, which helps improve circulation and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Furthermore, the mustard seed contains compounds that can aid digestion.
