Bring Authentic Mexican móle
to Your Table
Traditional Oaxacan móle crafted with clean ingredients — ready in minutes,

Crafted From Tradition
Bartola’s Móle Poblano sauce is the culmination of more than two centuries of family heritage. For generations, our ancestors passed down their secret recipe from mother to daughter, perfecting every detail to create a truly authentic, rich, and unforgettable culinary experience.
A Tradition That Brought Us Together
Some of our most cherished memories - were born around Grandma’s Sunday table the aroma of homemade chicken and móle filling the kitchen, cousins laughing, and everyone gathering to share a meal made with love.
Mama Bartola, affectionately known as Auntie Lola by her nieces and nephews, carried this tradition forward. Her cooking created moments that became family legends, the kind you remember long after the plates are cleared.
Now, We’re Sharing It With You
Today, we’re honored to bring this treasure beyond our family kitchen and into yours. When you enjoy Bartola’s Móle Poblano, you’re not just tasting a sauce - you’re joining us at the table, becoming part of a tradition that has connected our family for generations.
Crafted with love and care
Our family's rich tradition is a gift to the world, a legacy of love and passion that spans generations. As we share this treasured family recipe, the deep, complex flavors of our traditional Mexican móle are now in your hands, a tangible expression of the love and care that goes into crafting every jar. The rich flavors of tomatoes, chiles, spices, and chocolate combine into a distinct and savory flavor sensation on your palate. It's a flavor profile that's deeply rooted in the rich soil of Oaxaca, Mexico, where the world's finest cocoa beans are carefully cultivated, yielding the bold, rich chocolate flavors that are highly prized globally.
The Taza Chocolate Difference
Stone‑Ground Flavor That Honors Tradition
We craft our móle using Taza Chocolate, a renowned stone‑ground chocolate that preserves the bold, rustic flavors of traditional Mexican cacao. Unlike conventional chocolate, Taza’s unique grinding process keeps the cocoa’s natural texture and intensity intact - giving our sauce its signature depth and complexity.
Why Taza Makes Our Móle Unforgettable
• Stone‑ground for bold flavor Taza’s traditional grinding method creates a rich, slightly textured chocolate that melts beautifully into our sauce.
• Minimal processing, maximum character Taza chocolate retains its natural cocoa notes, adding warmth and depth without bitterness.
• Organic, ethically sourced cacao Taza partners directly with growers, ensuring quality and integrity in every batch.
Rooted in Oaxacan Tradition
While Taza is crafted in the U.S., its flavor profile is inspired by the heritage of Oaxacan chocolate - known for its earthy richness and cultural significance. This connection allows us to honor our roots while using a chocolate that delivers consistent, exceptional quality in every jar.

Inside Bartola’s móle: Ingredients, Flavor & Tradition
Know the Flavor Layers
Great móle tastes like a story: toasted chiles for warmth, spices for depth, and a subtle sweetness that rounds everything out. Start with a small spoonful, then adjust with broth for a lighter finish or simmer longer for a thicker, richer coat.
Balance Heat and Sweet
If you want more heat, add a pinch of chipotle powder. For a gentler, sweeter profile, stir a touch of chocolate or sweetner of your choice. Adjust taste in keeping with your liking. Móle rewards small adjustments.
Store for Best Freshness
Keep the sauce sealed and refrigerated after opening, using a clean spoon each time to protect flavor. For longer storage, portion into small containers and freeze - móle reheats beautifully and stays ready for quick weeknight meals.

Simmer shredded chicken in warmed móle with a splash of broth for 8-10 minutes. Serve over rice with sesame seeds and sliced onion. It’s a fast, restaurant-style dinner with minimal prep and maximum depth.
Roast Veggie Upgrade
