Watsonville-Based Startup Launches Its Website and Online Store

Watsonville, California, August 4, 2015 (Newswire.com) - What is mole?

The answer varies, but the first versions of mole (pronounced MOH-leh) were based on purées of dried chiles and spices ground in a stone mortar often with seeds and nuts.  As new spices were brought to the Americas, moles became more elaborate and required more complex preparation. Generally, today's moles contain ground chiles, nuts, herbs and spices.

The story of the origin of mole is steeped in folklore from the 16th and 17th centuries.
