Chipotle chili | crushed | 1-3 mm | dark red

What is it about / Product description

Chipotle chili is a traditional Mexican smoked chili made from jalapeños with an intense dark red color and a coarsely crushed grain size of 1–3 mm. Slowly smoked over mesquite wood, it combines heat, fruitiness and smoke into a well-balanced aroma that is ideal for professional kitchens and discerning home cooks.

The granulated structure ensures good flowability and an even distribution in the dish, allowing the heat and smoky note to be dosed precisely. Biova relies on carefully selected raw materials from Mexico and gentle processing to preserve color, flavor and typical smoky aromas in the best possible way.

In the kitchen, this smoked chili gives sauces, marinades and stews a warm, smoky depth. It is ideal for BBQ rubs, chili con carne, vegan and vegetarian dishes as well as grilled and braised dishes and, thanks to its crushed form, can be used both for cooking and for final seasoning.

Origin

The chili comes from Mexico, where the warm climate and nutrient-rich soils provide ideal conditions for aromatic jalapeños. This authentic origin shapes the typical smoky note, the strong dark red color and the consistent quality of Biova products.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

After harvesting, the jalapeños are selected, cleaned and slowly dried and smoked over mesquite wood. The pods are then processed into coarsely crushed pieces of 1–3 mm and filled as bulk goods with approx. 1.05 kg per unit for gastronomy, catering and food manufacturers.

Special features

Characteristic is the combination of moderate heat, fruity notes and a pronounced smoky aroma. The granulated, coarsely crushed grain size provides visible chili pieces, a more intense mouthfeel and very good blendability in Biova spice mixes and rubs.

Differences in origin and processing

Mexican chipotle is characterized by authentic smoking and a well-balanced aroma profile. The carefully adjusted smoking time and the use of mesquite wood create a harmonious balance of smoke, sweetness and heat, while the granulated form makes dosing and further processing in bulk and retail variants easier.

Taste & smell

Sensorially, it shows a warm, smoky note with slight sweetness and medium heat. The aroma is reminiscent of smoked paprika, dried fruits and BBQ notes from smoker and grill, while the dark red color provides an appetizing appearance in sauces, rubs and spice blends.
