Combine the mild powder with hotter chili varieties to finely adjust the overall heat while creating depth and complexity. It also adds warm, aromatic accents in creative applications with chocolate, desserts or fruity sauces.OriginThe Poblano chili comes from Mexico, where warm temperatures and plenty of sun promote an intense aroma. For Ancho, only fully ripe, dark red pods are used, which are carefully dried after harvest.

What it is / Product descriptionCharapita chili is one of the rare wild chilies from the Amazon region of Ecuador and is offered by Biova as a whole, approximately 1 cm small orange berry. The bright color, compact size and a heat range of around 80,000–120,000 Scoville make this chili spice a distinctive ingredient for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks. The dried berries retain their typical shape and also create visual highlights.Thanks to gentle drying and filling as chunks or whole berries, the fruity-exotic aroma of this Capsicum chinense specialty is largely preserved. Biova relies on natural bulk goods with a clearly defined grain size "chunks / whole", so that structure, color and essential oils remain as unadulterated as possible. In the heat segment 20,001–100,000+ Scoville, the product offers a clearly perceptible yet easily controllable spiciness.In the kitchen, Charapita chili allows very precise control of heat, as each berry can be cooked along individually, removed again, or freshly crushed in a mortar.

This Biova spice is also highly versatile for creative fusion cuisine, rubs and spice blends.OriginThis wild chili comes from Ecuador in the Amazon catchment area, where tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils prevail.

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.
