What is Chamoy?

Chamoy originates from Mexico, where it has been made since the 16th century. Traditional chamoy is made from pickled fruit, chili powder and spices. Common fruits used include apricots, oranges and plums.

There are two main types of chamoy - chamoy salsa and chamoy powder. Chamoy salsa has a thicker, sauce-like texture. It can be used as a dip or topping. Chamoy powder has a fine, powdery texture similar to seasoning salt. It adheres well to foods for rimming.

Both types of chamoy offer a sweet, tangy and mildly spicy flavor. They contain a blend of sweetness from the fruit, tartness from vinegar, heat from chili powder and spices. Popular spices added are cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
