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

What is it about / Product description

Chipotle chili comes from Mexico and refers to jalapeños that have been smoked and dried over mesquite wood. The coarsely crushed pieces of 1–3 mm shine dark red and bring intense color to your dishes. At Biova you receive this specialty as practical bulk goods for the professional kitchen.

Gentle smoking creates a balanced aroma with mild to medium heat and a distinct smoky note. The granulated structure ensures an even distribution in the dish and is easy to dose. Biova places great value on carefully selected raw materials and clean processing for consistently high quality.

In the kitchen, chipotle chili gives sauces, marinades and stews a pleasantly smoky heat. Especially in BBQ rubs, chili con carne or vegetarian dishes it provides depth and complexity. In its crushed form it is ideal for cooking directly with the dish or for final seasoning at the table.

Origin

This chili comes from Mexico, the country of origin of many traditional chili varieties. The warm climate and sunny conditions offer ideal prerequisites for growing jalapeños. The origin is an important factor for the authentic aroma and the typical color.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

After harvesting, fresh jalapeños are gently dried and smoked over wood smoke. The pods are then cleaned and crushed into granules of 1–3 mm. Processing as bulk goods enables efficient use in gastronomy and food production.

Special characteristics

Characteristic is the combination of smoke, fruitiness and moderate heat. The coarse grind provides visible chili pieces and an intense taste experience. Compared to fine powder, the structure is better preserved in the dish.

Differences in origin and processing

Chipotle from Mexico is distinguished by a particularly authentic smoky note. Depending on the type of wood used and the smoking time, the intensity of the aroma varies. The granulated form from Biova is specially designed for even dosing and professional applications.

Taste & aroma

The taste shows a warm, smoky note with a slight sweetness and medium heat. The aroma is reminiscent of smoked paprika, dried fruits and grilled flavors. The dark red color underlines the robust character of this spice.
