  • Please email us at foodie@chicamonina.com with any questions, to place an order for pick-up, or to learn more about wholesale opportunities — we’d love to work with you!

  • Yes! All Chicamonina products are gluten-free, vegan, low sodium, and free from soy, preservatives, and fillers.

  • REAL INGREDIENTS. REAL ROOTS.

    It’s not just a seasoning — it’s a sauce mix made from real Hatch® chiles, grown on small family farms in New Mexico and sun-ripened to develop their naturally bold, rich flavor.

    Unlike other store-bought blends filled with fillers and additives, we use uncut chile powder, ground from de-seeded, de-stemmed pods — no preservatives, no fillers, no shortcuts.

    What makes Chicamonina truly special isn’t just what’s inside the packet — it’s the intention behind it. Every batch is crafted to honor where we come from, and to help you bring real food, made with love, to the people you care about.

  • Because it does more than a seasoning ever could. Our mix is designed to be the base of a sauce, not just a sprinkle on top. Stir it into warm broth or water to create a rich taco sauce, blend it into oil for a marinade, or use it as a rub or enchilada base. One packet — endless flexibility.

    It’s an all-in-one flavor foundation that gives home cooks the tools to make meals taste like something out of a taqueria, fast and clean.

  • Real Ingredients. Real Roots.

    Just Hatch® chile, spices, and intentional simplicity. Small-batch, clean-label, and crafted for home cooks who want better.

  • We source our red chile from small, family-owned farms in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico. The pods are ripened slowly in the sun, hand-selected, de-stemmed, and ground uncut to preserve their natural umami and color. We work directly with growers to ensure quality and consistency in every batch.

  • Just mix one packet with broth, water, or in some cases juice to make a flavorful base. You can use it as a taco sauce, enchilada sau, marinade, or drizzle. You can also use it dry as a rub or seasoning — it's flexible and full of flavor.

  • We love working with shops that care about quality. Just email us at foodie@chicamonina.com and tell us about your store. We’ll share wholesale details and help you bring Chicamonina to your shelves.
