Merquén is a chili blend from the mapuche region of chile. Thee peppers are ripened to a dark red color to develop rich flavor then slow smoked over a fire. When infused in maple syrup, all of the profiles of the pepper – the heat, the smokiness and the rich pepper taste are magnified by the caramel tones of the maple.
