Mole

Mole (pronounced ‘mol-eh’), is a common accompaniment to many of Mexico’s popular dishes as it can be used in many different ways. Chefs refer to it as the “mother” of all Mexican sauces, one because of its origin, which can be traced back to pre-Hispanic times, and two, because it gives birth to a myriad of other dressings and condiments, all of which, when added to a dish, make it undeniably spectacular.

Three places in Mexico claim to be the birthplace of this iconic culinary creation. As simple as it may look, Mole is actually a very complex sauce to make, and all these places have their own time-tested ways to create the magical concoction that it is. Mole has no-less than 20 components, all of which give it its unrivaled taste and the skill and patience to produce it is not for the faint of heart.

The gustatory pleasures of Mexican food will be incomplete without the humble Mole, so make sure to include it in your bucket list of things to try when visiting Mexico.
