Product descriptionOrganic Ancho chili is the dried and ground form of the Mexican poblano pepper. It appears as a dark red to almost black powder with a mild heat level of around 1,000–4,000 Scoville Heat Units. The spice combines fruity notes of dried berries with hints of cocoa and tobacco and is ideal for authentic Mexican cooking.Thanks to its fine to slightly flaky grind, the chili powder disperses evenly in sauces, rubs and marinades and can be dosed precisely. Biova relies on organic quality and controlled processing of the bulk product so that color, aroma and heat level remain consistent and meet professional standards.In the kitchen, this mild chili powder serves as an aromatic base for stews, salsas, mole and chili con carne and also works well in BBQ rubs and grill marinades. You can use Organic Ancho chili on its own for gentle heat or combine it with hotter varieties to fine‑tune the desired heat level.OriginThe underlying poblano chili traditionally comes from Mexico, where warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine promote a pronounced aroma profile. For ancho, only fully ripe, dark red pods are used, which are carefully dried after harvest to preserve their typically Mexican character.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe chili plants are grown in open fields until the fruits develop their deep red color. The pods are then harvested, gently dried and milled into a fine to flaky powder, with Biova maintaining controlled conditions to ensure stable quality and reliable heat.Special featuresTypical are the large, heart-shaped poblano pods, which develop into flat, broad fruits with a complex aroma as they dry. The resulting powder is noticeably milder than many other chili varieties and is therefore suitable for guests who prefer only gentle heat, especially in the bulk format for professional kitchens.Differences in origin and processingDepending on the growing region and drying method, the aroma nuances range from fruity notes through to tobacco and coffee tones. Traditional sun-drying can create a multi-layered flavor profile, while controlled drying at Biova supports a consistently high sensory quality of the chili powder.Taste & aromaGround ancho chili smells warm, fruity and slightly smoky with notes of raisins, liquorice, coffee and cocoa. On the palate it shows a mild, rounded heat that highlights the sweet-fruity character and gives sauces and stews an appetising dark red color.Suggested usesAs a base spice for dark sauces, stews, chili con carne and Mexican mole.In rubs and marinades for beef, pork, poultry or grilled vegetables.For creative pairings with chocolate, desserts, chutneys or fruity BBQ sauces.Product specificationCountry of origin: typically MexicoGrind size: fine / flaky, groundColor: dark red to almost black

Hot to mild exotic chillies
Whether for barbecues, risottos, Mexican tapas or other dishes, chilli gives every dish a fiery flavour. The Mayans and Aztecs already knew this, adding a pinch of the spicy flavouring to their sacred drink Xocolatl in addition to cocoa and water. When Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in the belief that he was travelling to India, one of the things he brought back home from his expeditions was chilli. Today, around 4,000 different types of chilli are known around the world. But not all of them are as hot as you might think. After all, chillies belong to the pepper family. The pharmacologist of the same name developed the Scoville scale to assess the flavour of chillies. He gave ordinary chilli peppers with no detectable heat a value of 0. In comparison, chilli peppers - depending on the variety - are between 100 and 500 Scoville hot. This is no comparison to the hottest variety, Carolina Reaper, which is only tolerated in very low doses with a pungency of 2,200,000 Scoville.
The Piment d' Espelette variety from Biova, which comes from the Basque Country in France, is milder. Its mild flavour enhances sauces, pasta and rice dishes, meat and fish. The variety derived from the Gloria chilli pepper has been cultivated in Europe for 400 years. Legend has it that the Basque navigator Gonzalo de Percartegu brought it back to his homeland from his voyages of discovery to the west. In addition to other varieties, we at Biova also have the jalapeno chilli, which is popular in Europe, in organic quality in our range. As an integral part of chilli con carne, barbecue sauces and other fiery dishes, it is an indispensable part of Tex-Mex cuisine. Cayenne pepper is also a type of chilli pepper. It consists exclusively of ground cayenne peppers, which originally come from South America. Cayenne pepper from Biova comes from China and harmonises perfectly with stews, minced meat, soups and vegetarian options.
