The Aztec word for “smoke” gives this pepper its name. The chipotle (chee POAT lay) is a red, ripe red jalapeño pepper than has been dried and specially smoked over firewood. This gives it a special flavor without diminishing its spiciness. Chipotle adds a piquant, smoky flavor to all types of dishes.

“Jambo” is a very special word in the East African language of Swahili. It’s both a friendly greeting and a courteous response. If an East African were to say to you, “Jambo?”, it would mean “How are you?”. And if you were to reply “Jambo” it would mean, “I am very well.” We think it also makes a fine brand.
