Capitana By Lorenza’s Mexican-Style Chili Crunch With Cherries adds full-bodied flavor to everything from morning toast to lunchtime tacos to an evening cheese board. The recipe is a play on salsa macha—a traditional chile oil from Veracruz, Mexico. It has a smoky heat and velvety texture, with a surprising fruity sweetness thanks to the addition of dried cherries. One drizzle adds depth to a snack spread beside Cypress Grove Goat Cheddar and Schaller & Weber Summer Sausage.
“I always have this on hand when I’m cooking for a crowd because it has that satisfying chile depth without a ton of heat. It's incredible drizzled over burrata!”
