Mo l e' (Spanish pronunciation: ['mole]; Spanish from Nahuatl molli,"sauce")
is the generic name for a number of sauces originally used in Mexican
cuisine, as well as for dishes based on these sauces. Outside of Mexico it
often refers specifically to mole' poblano . In contemporary Mexico, the term
is used for a number of sauces, some quite dissimilar, including black, red,
yellow, colorado (another name for red), green, almendrado, and pipian. The
sauce is most popular in the central and southern regions of the country with
those from Puebla and Oaxaca, the best known, but 60% of the mole' eaten
in the country comes from San Pedro Atocpan near Mexico City. The
popularity of the sauce, especially at major celebrations, is such that 99% of
all Mexicans have tried at lease one version of it.
Three states in Mexico claim to be the origin of mole': Puebla, Oaxaca and
Tlaxcala. The states with the best known moles are Puebla and Oaxaca, but
other regions in Mexico also make various types of mole' sauces.
