Chipotle chili powder, dark red, 6,000–50,000 SHU

Product description

Discover chipotle chili as a finely ground, dark red chili powder made from fully ripe jalapeños. Its smoky aroma evokes open-fire grilling and brings an authentic Tex-Mex note to your kitchen.

Thanks to its fine / flaky grind, the chipotle powder is easy to dose evenly and disperses well in both dry blends and liquid preparations. Biova focuses on consistent quality, reliable heat and a uniform colour.

Whether for BBQ sauces, marinades, braised dishes or spice blends – ground chipotle chili provides a versatile base for chili con carne, dips, salsas and creative grill rubs.

Origin

The jalapeño pods for this chipotle come from Mexico, with its warm climate, abundant sunshine and well-aerated soils. These conditions promote intense flavour development and a pronounced smoky heat.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The chilies are grown in open fields and harvested at full maturity, when they are a deep red. Biova then slowly smokes them over mesquite wood, dries, cleans and grinds them into a fine / flaky powder.

Key features

Typical for this product is the combination of fruity jalapeño heat and intense smoke. The dark red colour and even grind ensure a clean, professional appearance in spice blends, grill rubs and marinades at Biova quality level.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the region of origin and the type of wood used, the smoke profile of chipotle varies significantly. Smoking over mesquite wood in Mexico creates a robust, slightly sweet smokiness that clearly sets it apart from European-style smoked chilies and makes it ideal for BBQ and Tex-Mex oriented products.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, this chipotle powder is medium hot to hot, with a slowly building, long-lasting heat of around 6,000–50,000 Scoville. Fruity jalapeño notes combine with an intense smoky flavour and a strong, slightly sweet aroma.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning BBQ sauces, grill marinades and rubs for meat, poultry or vegetables.
• Enhancing chili con carne, bean skillets, stews and braised dishes.
• Use in spice blends, dips, salsas and vegan dishes for smoky heat.
