For the holidays, our family launched our 12oz gifting jars, perfect for a family of 4.  We wanted to bring you the simplest way to make Guelaguetza's iconic mole at home.  Trust us when we say that after a taste of our mole, you are going to want to pour it over everything.  (Our starters also make the world's best enchilada sauce.. provecho!)
