Festival: Chiles en Nogada English
THE CHILES
The filling is a picadillo of pork or beef. It contains a very generous portion of fruits that are only available from July to September: panochera apples, leche or San Juan pears, yellow peaches, all from Calpan, Puebla. It also contains pink pine nuts, almonds, raisins, olives, capers, and various spices.
Our version is without capeado (egg batter) served at room temperature, not hot.
All the nogada sauces are ideal for these chiles.

THE NOGADA SAUCES
Every nogada sauces has a high content of “fresh walnut” which distinguish this sauce,
and all of them are perfect for any of stuffed chiles.
160 ml
Savory nogada
It is a succulent nogada, the faint salty taste is obtained from the cheese. I consider it the finest because it is
made mainly of fresh walnuts. This is a very old nogada, it has been disappearing.
Sweet nogada
The most famous and popular of all, we do it with all rigor, without alterations.
Savory and sweet nogada
The best of both worlds: one half of the chile is served with the savory nogada, and the other with the sweet
nogada. The palate welcomes the change in flavor; as the savory side comes to an end, the two begin to blend,
finishing with the sweet one.
Cinnamon-kissed nogada
Sweet fresh walnut sauce with a subtle hint of cinnamon.
Dairy-free walnut sauce.
Cumin-kissed nogada
Sweet fresh walnut sauce with a subtle hint of cumin.
Tasting of nogadas, 4 tablespoons

HISTORICAL NOTE
With these chiles, Mexico’s Independence festivities are celebrated throughout September. Alongside their rich, indulgent flavor, they are said to embody the three colors of the Mexican flag: green, white, and red.
Legend has it that Chiles en Nogada were served to Don Agustín de Iturbide on August 28, 1821, when he visited the City of Puebla after signing the Treaties of Córdoba with the last Viceroy of New Spain, Don Juan O’Donojú—an event that marked the final step in the consummation of Mexico’s Independence.
This is a highly elaborate and time-honored recipe, traditionally prepared only from July to September, when all fresh ingredients are at their peak, sourced from Calpan in the state of Puebla.
