ABOUT US

Our Story

It all began with the admiration of the landscapes overlooking two of the main Mountains of Central Mexico, the "Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl" referring to the volcanoes Popocatépetl ("the Smoking Mountain") and Iztaccíhuatl ("white woman" in Nahuatl). From the stunning views of their valley, Chinelos who were in a way rebels, always believed in trying new things and adventure.
Chinelos are carnival characters, from the state of Morelos, Mexico. The word Chinelos comes from the náhuatl dialect "tzineloa", which means "the one who moves well the feet and hips" or "good hip moves". Every year these characters dance at the beat of a band during carnival season to entertain, have fun and show off their dance moves.

We dare you will be shaking your hips after trying out our different hot flavors.

We are proud of our origins therefore we want to share our passion for food and spices from the country that has harvested and grown the most varieties of chilli peppers, spices and other amazing ingredients.
Our aim is to bring you a carefully selected range of all natural spices, chiles and other exotic ingredients that not only are applicable to Mexican food, but that can let your imagination explore and try different mix of flavors. ​
