So beautiful and filled with chilies - a bit of Southwestern magic in the Blue Ridge Mountains.Ellen S · Verified
Flavor is pretty good Heat is good Presentation is good The only negative parts Are that its not pure chile peppers, its flavored with garlic and salt And all the seeds are left in with the pepper meat. I grew up in Cruces and never added spices to my fresh chiles, and was hoping for that same type of thing, but its still pretty good.Will O · Verified
Beautiful, colorful, fresh, and delicious! I’m enjoying my Ristra even as a new addition for my decor. Although I found that they are delicate as the peppers dry, and will drop seeds. No problem, I now have my Ristra as not only my decor in my kitchen, but a nice place to gather the fallen seeds and some of the Chile’s as they fall onto my counter top. Most excellent!!Debra S · Verified
I have lived my entire life on the NC coast, not a fan of mustard OR vinegar, & definitely not spicy food! In my 2 short years in NM, I have become a chile expert (to my beach fan)! This is the only mustard that will ever darken my doorstep again! It’s absolutely DELICIOUS! Running low, only 3 bottles in the pantry! Let me order more now before all y’all jump on there and buy it all after reading my raving review!! I’ll leave a few for the rest of ya!M B · Verified

I use the sauce to make my green chili, I also put it in hamburger beans or anything that I may want to put it on, including hamburgers, because I love Hatch green chilies. I will scramble some eggs, with green onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and green chilies and fix me up some warm tortillas and enjoy.LINDA M · Verified

I love New Mexico Beans they’re so fresh when you cook them and nice and brownAdelina A · Verified
I used them to make my breakfast green chile sauce with my hot sandia chile that i roasted and freezed last year i thought it would be to hot because i normally use the big jims but the medium chile sauce came out perfect i couldnt tell the difference. all in all its very good. My only suggestion would be to put that same batch of mild, medium, and hot in 4 oz cans for a longer shelf life and you want need shipping protection also if you did not want to roast your own chile this would be easer to just open cans and make your green chile sauce etc.Ralph C · Verified
Reminds me of living there (in a good way). The flavors and heat were as advertised, which is getting rare in the space. Hot was HOT. Perfect in a breakfast burrito.Kurt v

Welcome to the original Hatch Chile Store — your direct source for authentic Hatch chile, founded in 2005 by Preston Mitchell, a 5th-generation Hatch Valley farmer descended from Joseph Franzoy, the first commercial chile farmer in Hatch, New Mexico.
Every product on this page is grown, roasted, and packed in the Hatch Valley — the narrow stretch of farmland between Arrey and Tonuco Mountain that gives this chile its unmistakable smoky, complex flavor. Generic "Hatch-style" chile grown in Mexico or California can use the name; only chile actually grown in this valley carries the Hatch Chile Association certification mark we honor on every order.
Whether you're stocking up during peak roasting season (late August through early October), restocking your pantry mid-winter, or shopping for the chile-head in your life, this is the complete catalog: fresh roasted, flash-frozen, jarred sauces & salsas, freeze-dried, powders, tamales, rellenos, ristras, and more — shipped on dry ice nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does your Hatch chile come from?
Every product on this site is grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico — the narrow stretch of farmland between Arrey and Tonuco Mountain. Our family-owned farm is in Hatch, NM, and Preston Mitchell, our founder, is a 5th-generation Hatch Valley farmer descended from Joseph Franzoy, the first commercial chile farmer in the region.
Is your chile actually authentic Hatch chile?
Yes. We are members of the Hatch Chile Association, which administers the certification mark for chile genuinely grown in the Hatch Valley. Generic "Hatch-style" chile sold elsewhere is often poblano grown in Mexico or California — ours is the real thing, traceable to specific farms in the valley.
What is the difference between fresh, roasted, and frozen Hatch chile?
Fresh chile is sold raw during the August–October harvest. Roasted chile has been flame-roasted (which blisters the skin for easy peeling) and is sold either fresh-roasted in season or flash-frozen for year-round shipping. Frozen roasted is what most customers buy outside of harvest season — same flavor, available 12 months a year.
How spicy is Hatch chile?
Hatch chile heat ranges from approximately 900 SHU (Mild — Joe Parker, 1904, NuMex 6-4) up to 12,000+ SHU (X-Hot — Lumbre) across the cultivars we grow. Mild varieties are family-friendly with gentle warmth; Big Jim (~6,500 SHU per NMSU CR706) is our Medium workhorse; Sandia Select (~9,500 SHU) is our Hot tier, and Lumbre (12,000+ SHU, varies year to year) is the X-Hot end for serious chile-heads. See our Heat Level Guide for variety-by-variety detail.
When is Hatch chile in season?
Hatch chile is harvested from late July through early October, with peak roasting season from mid-August through late September. Fresh chile is only available during these months. Frozen, jarred, dried, and powdered Hatch chile products ship year-round.
How does shipping work for frozen products?
Frozen products ship on dry ice via UPS or FedEx with 1–2 day transit. We ship Monday through Wednesday only, so frozen orders never sit in a warehouse over a weekend. Shipping is free on orders over $99.
Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally?
We ship to all 50 U.S. states; Alaska and Hawaii frozen orders ship via expedited service due to dry-ice transit time. We do not currently ship internationally.
How long does roasted Hatch chile last in the freezer?
Vacuum-sealed, our flash-frozen roasted chile keeps full flavor for 12+ months in a 0°F freezer. Once thawed, use within 7 days; do not refreeze.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every order. If anything is not right — quality, freshness, shipping damage — email support@hatch-green-chile.com and we will make it right.
Can I buy in bulk for restaurants or events?
Yes. We offer wholesale pricing for restaurants, food-service operators, caterers, and large events. Visit /pages/wholesale-hatch-chile or email support@hatch-green-chile.com for a quote.
We know you're wondering.
Hatch Chile is a protected regional designation — like Champagne or Vidalia onions — for chile grown exclusively in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and 40-degree temperature swings between day and night are why Hatch chile tastes like nowhere else. Most "green chile" in grocery stores is Anaheim — a milder, less complex pepper mass-produced in California or Mexico. All of our products are Hatch Chile Association certified, meaning they were grown in the Hatch Valley, not relabeled from another region.
Frozen products ship on Tuesdays or Wednesdays according to the destination ZIP and service. Economy generally takes 1–3 business days by ZIP in the lower 48; Alaska and Hawaii are Overnight only. Fresh chile ships on Wednesdays during harvest, by Overnight service only. Fresh chile ships unrefrigerated and normally arrives at outdoor temperature. Check the shipping guide and fresh chile product page for current availability and expected dates.
Medium is our most popular heat level and what we recommend for first-timers — it has a pleasant, building warmth that lets you taste the signature smoky-sweet Hatch flavor without overwhelming heat. Mild is perfect for kids, spice-sensitive palates, or dishes like rellenos where you want flavor without the kick. Hot delivers the classic New Mexican heat that restaurants in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are known for. X-Hot is for serious heat seekers only. When in doubt, start Medium — you can always go hotter next time.
Roasted frozen Hatch chile lasts 12+ months at 0°F without significant quality loss — this is how most New Mexicans stockpile their annual supply and enjoy Hatch chile year-round. We recommend portioning into meal-sized bags and pressing out as much air as possible before freezing. Our jarred sauces, salsas, and dried products like red chile pods and powders are shelf-stable for 12–18 months in your pantry.

Every product we sell is Hatch Chile Association certified — your guarantee that the chile was grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, not Anaheim or imported chile relabeled under the Hatch name. Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in the region. Five generations later, we still farm 300+ acres and grow 10+ cultivar varieties including Big Jim, Sandia Select, and Lumbre. Over 500,000 customers and 12,000+ verified 5-star reviews — you're buying from the source.
