Chipotle chili | ground | dark red

What is it about / Product description

Chipotle chili is made from fully ripe jalapeños from Mexico that are slowly smoked over mesquite wood and then ground to a fine to flaky powder. The dark red, smoky chili powder combines fruity heat with a typical BBQ aroma and is ideal for the kitchen, barbecue area and professional spice manufacturers. With this Biova spice specialty you get an aromatic base for authentic Tex-Mex-inspired dishes.

Thanks to traditional smoking and the even particle size, the chili powder is easy to dose and can be evenly distributed in both dry and liquid preparations. The batch-dependent heat level is roughly between 6,000 and 50,000 Scoville and thus falls into the heat category 20,001–100,000, i.e. from medium hot to hot. For this bulk product, Biova focuses on a robust aroma, consistent quality and an appealing red color that visually enhances spice blends and grill rubs.

In your kitchen or production, chipotle chili is particularly suitable for BBQ sauces, rubs, marinades and braised dishes where a pronounced, smoky heat is desired. In combination with tomatoes, beans, meat or plant-based alternatives, the full aroma of the smoked jalapeño powder unfolds. This allows you to create a consistent flavor base for chili con carne, dips, salsas and creative spice blends at Biova quality level in no time.

Origin

The jalapeño pods come from Mexico, where warm days, plenty of sun and well-aerated soils ensure intense development of aroma and color. In traditional chili-growing regions, knowledge of heat levels, drying and smoking has been passed down for generations. Biova makes use of this origin to offer a spice with a typically Mexican character and reliable bulk quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The chilies are grown outdoors and harvested at full ripeness, when they have changed from green to an intense red. They are then slowly smoked over mesquite wood, which removes moisture and concentrates the aroma. After drying, they are carefully cleaned and ground into a fine / flaky powder that is optimally suited for use as bulk goods.

Special features

Characteristic is the combination of fruity jalapeño heat and intense smoky flavor, which clearly distinguishes this chili powder from many other red chilies. The dark red color and even particle size ensure a homogeneous appearance in spice blends, rubs and marinades. Biova places great importance on gentle processing so that the natural aroma of the smoked pods is preserved as well as possible.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the region of origin and the type of wood used, the smoke profile of chipotle can vary. Smoking over mesquite wood in Mexico produces a robust, slightly sweet smoky note that clearly differs from chilies smoked in Europe. This traditional processing creates an authentic spice that is particularly suitable for BBQ products, Tex-Mex-oriented recipes and professional grill rub concepts.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory point of view, the powder is medium hot to hot with a slowly setting, long-lasting heat in the range of about 6,000–50,000 Scoville. Fruity jalapeño notes combine with an intense, smoky aroma reminiscent of campfire and BBQ. The scent is strong, smoky and slightly sweet, so that even small amounts provide a pronounced seasoning and coloring effect.
