Our chile just tastes better
As a century old farming family, we like to think we know why
our New Mexico Chile tastes better than any other chile
grown in the USA or across the world. We firmly believe that
chile grown in New Mexico tastes better in much the same
way that the French wine regions believe they make the
finests wines and California's Napa Valley believes they do
to. We all agree. Our products are the best because of our
heritage, our water, our air and our local soil.
New Mexico and specifically the Hatch Valley area has a
perfect climate for growing chile. Our Rio Grande River
provides us with quality water, our soil is enriched by the
minerals that travel with the river and the care that goes into
our soil when combined with great quality air produces a
chile product and taste that can not found anywhere else in
the world.
You can find chile in lots of different states and country's,
however, there is only one place you can find the finest chile
in the world. New Mexico and the Hatch Valley region.

The Science of Taste
"The sense of taste is a sensory system like the eye," says
Ilene Bernstein, PhD, a professor of psychology at the
University of Washington. "The tongue is sensitive to
different tastes -- sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. Taste as a
signals on the tongue."
While it sounds simple, taste involves so much more than
these four simple categories that we learned about in grade
school. From genes, to environment, to a fifth taste referred
to as umami, experts explain to WebMD the science behind
taste.
Nature and Nurture
Taste is a product of more than just buds on your tongue. It's
a combination of how a food smells, looks, and sounds.
When we eat celery, it has to crunch. When we drink coffee,
we expect a certain aroma. And of course, how a person
perceives taste also has to do with nature and nurture.
"Taste is a product of our genes and our environment," says
Leslie J. Stein, PhD, from the Monell Chemical Senses
Center in Philadelphia.
