Product description

Discover cayenne chilli as a bright red chilli powder, finely to flake-ground, with a medium to fairly hot heat level of around 10,000–15,000 Scoville. It is easy to dose and ideal for use in professional kitchens, catering and food production.

Thanks to controlled drying and uniform grinding, Biova supplies a free-flowing bulk product with a consistent quality in the 5,001–20,000 Scoville range. Colour, aroma and heat remain largely constant from batch to batch, ensuring reproducible results.

In use, this cayenne powder gives stews, soups, marinades and grilled dishes a pleasantly warming heat. The fine particle size ensures the chilli powder disperses evenly in both dry and liquid preparations.

Origin

The cayenne chilli comes mainly from selected growing regions in China and India, where warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine promote the development of heat and aroma. Careful raw material checks guarantee consistent Biova quality.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Cayenne plants grow as low bushes and produce slender pods that are green at first and later turn an intense red. After harvesting, they are gently dried and then ground into a fine to slightly flaky chilli powder.

Key features

At around 10,000–15,000 Scoville, this chilli powder sits in the medium to upper heat range without being extremely hot. Its strong red colour and fine/flake grind make it ideal for rubs, spice blends and decorative applications in professional kitchens.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, cayenne chillies vary slightly in heat, aroma and colour intensity. The batches selected by Biova are characterised by a well-balanced, slightly smoky profile; controlled drying and even grinding ensure a homogeneous powder.

Taste & aroma

Cayenne chilli delivers a direct, clean heat with a spicy, piquant aroma. On the palate it shows slightly smoky notes and a subtle bitterness that spreads evenly through dishes.
