Chilean Merquén Seasoning is a bold, smoky chile blend rooted in traditional Mapuche cooking from southern Chile. Made from dried, smoked aji cacho de cabra peppers blended with sea salt and coriander, it has a coarse texture similar to crushed red pepper, but with far more depth. The smokiness comes through immediately, followed by earthy chile flavor and a gentle citrus lift from the coriander. It’s simple by design, but powerful in how it shows up in finished dishes, especially when used before grilling or smoking.
