Dona Maria Mole Sauce 8.25oz

Good paste for traditional mexican mole.

PEOPLE ARE DUMB!! This is a PASTE!! READ BEFORE BUYING!! Add about a cup or two of broth from cooking your chicken to blender, also add contents of jar, and blend.. You can add more broth depending on how you like mole.. Do lil by lil to your liking.. FRIENDLY TIP. You can get all fancy and add fresh onion, a few more dried chiles, sesame seeds (peeled) to blender. Lots of ideas on internet ONE THING I ALWAYS ADD ARE A HANDFUL OF SALTINES 6-7, WHY? I'm not even sure but always saw my mom and Tia's do it when I was young so I do the same as well, lol yes content is rock hard and there is oil on top.. I usually let hot water run on top of jar BEFORE opening while I'm shredding chicken like 10 minutes or so and found it a bit easier to dig up the paste.. So disregard negative reviews, Doña Maria Mole is PERFECT!!!

Great product to make mole it has a very balanced taste of sweet and spicy.

Love this brand and so easy to make.

The oil is normal, you have to be very careful when opening it, I do it with a bottle opener. Then I put the oil in the blender, stick a knife through the edges all around and drop directly into the blender, and add boiling water and, all the spices you need to complete it. Unless you want it simple like that.

Just add a tablet of chocolate Abuelita, 3.5c of chicken broth, and a tablespoon of nut butter. Simmer until dissolved and whisked together. Best cheater mole sauce out there.

Too salty and Bland! As someone who makes Mole frequently I was not a fan of the flavor. It has a chalky taste, and the flavor is nowhere near homemade mole. I can tell that some spices were added but the over all flavor is unpalatable. I chose this because I was running behind schedule and someone recommended this to me. When I fed this to my family I got roasted hella hard… Needless to say this is the last time I’m taking short cuts

Great taste and super easy to use. Yes it has oil and yes its a hard paste, its mole paste. Whats important is the flavor and its there!

Love this product!! Super authentic!!

For everyone complaining this mole paste has to be scooped out with a spoon it does feel a little stiff but that’s how this paste has always been just throw if I. The blender with chicken stock or water and walaaaaa! Make sure you let it simmer on a pan the add your chicken and enjoy !! Super easy !! If you want to be more fancy go on YouTube tons of videos on other stuff you can add to this to make it even tastier! Yumm!!!

It's a hard paste, yep! There is oil sitting on the top, yep! That's the way it's supposed to be, and it's been this way for decades! Please familiarize yourself with the product if you haven't used it before. Go online, look at recipes, there's probably even a YouTube video. I boil my chicken with garlic & onion, then add salt. Use barely enough water to cover the chicken. I put 4 cups of that broth aside to make Mexican rice with. Use that remaining broth to dilute the sauce. I've been mashing it by hand, but will try using a blender based on someone else's suggestion. I add tomato paste and Abuela's chocolate. It always turns out great! I was opening my jar in the sink because I always made a mess. Thankfully, my husband read the instructions on the top of the jar that tells you to lift up where the three triangles are!

READ BEFORE YOU BUY! Before purchasing this please keep in mind that is a PASTE, a BASE for you sauce. The consistency is hard and the too WILL have oil, this is normal. As per jar instructions, you must add water or chicken stock. I added the chicken stock I used to cook my chicken. Also, opening is not hard at all. The top of the jar has a triangle, you have to lift up the three corners and it will open easily. Remember this is not a ready to serve mole!

Yes, it is hard and liquid (oil/broth) separates on top. It is normal. You need chicken or any other type of broth to cook it with to soften it. I use broth and other spices. This Mole is to be used as base not by itself.
