I prefer the darker Mulato as I think it has better flavour. I grind both both ancho and mulato for my chilli spice mix. The mulato seems to add a depth of flavour that is missing when I use just the ancho - and the resultant chilli cooks up darker brown ... more away from the traditional "Bowl of Red" side. -- ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!!
