At Della Casa Select, we offer a range of chile-flavored pastas, each with a distinct taste and aroma. Our most popular flavor is Jalapeño Pasta, known for its bright and mildly spicy kick. The jalapeño, originally from Mexico, is now grown worldwide due to its flavorful profile and moderate heat level. The name "jalapeño" comes from Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. On the Scoville Scale, jalapeños range from medium to hot, making them perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice.
Other popular flavors include Chipotle Pasta, which has a smoky, mildly sweet flavor. Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeños, widely used in Mexican cooking to add depth to both savory and sweet dishes. Native to Central America and Mexico, chipotles are primarily grown in states like Chihuahua, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa. In the U.S., they are cultivated in South Texas and southern New Mexico, with a mild to medium heat level on the Scoville Scale.
We also offer Poblano Pasta, featuring an earthy, green chile flavor similar to bell peppers. Poblano chiles, with their unique heart shape, are a traditional ingredient in many Mexican dishes and have a rich culinary history. They fall within the mild to medium range on the Scoville Scale, making them a great option for those who prefer a milder, yet flavorful, pasta experience.
