The mulato pepper is one of the two dried varieties of the poblano pepper.^[1] Mulatos are dried fully mature poblanos, whereas poblanos that are harvested early and dried are called ancho peppers.

The mulato is flat and wrinkled, and is always brownish-black in color. The average length and width of the mulato is 10 cm and 5 cm, respectively. Its shape is wide at the top, tapering to a blunt point.

The mulato has been described as tasting somewhat like chocolate^[2] or licorice, with undertones of cherry and tobacco. Its heat rating is 2,500 to 3,000 on the Scoville scale.
