Prime 4: Ancho Pasilla

Dark, smoky, and layered with character—Ancho Pasilla brings the bold, earthy flavor of sun-dried Mexican chiles into perfect balance with the deep umami of black garlic. Mild heat from ancho, the rich fruitiness of pasilla, and a background of warm spices make this rub complex without being overpowering.

It’s crafted for slow builds and bold finishes—ideal for proteins that deserve a little extra attention and a lot of depth. Whether you’re building bark on a brisket or adding soul to a pot of chili, Ancho Pasilla brings a richness that lingers in the best way.

Paired Best With:

Brisket, pork shoulder, chili, beef ribs, smoked beans, grilled corn, or used as a base layer under Classic or Backbone for multidimensional flavor.
