Chipotle chilli flakes 1–3 mm, dark red, Mexico

Product description

Chipotle chilli is a traditional Mexican smoked chilli made from jalapeños, with a deep red colour and a coarse flake size of 1–3 mm. Slowly smoked over mesquite wood, it combines heat, fruitiness and smoke to create a well-balanced flavour profile for professional kitchens and demanding home cooks.

The granular structure flows well and distributes evenly in the dish, allowing precise dosing of both heat and smokiness. Biova relies on carefully selected raw material from Mexico and gentle processing to preserve colour, flavour and the typical smoky notes as much as possible.

In the kitchen, this smoked chilli adds warm, smoky depth to sauces, marinades and stews. It is ideal for BBQ rubs, chilli con carne, vegan and vegetarian dishes as well as grilled and braised dishes, and thanks to the flaked form it can be used both during cooking and for final seasoning.

Origin

This chipotle chilli 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 intense dark red colour and the consistent quality of Biova spices.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

After harvesting, the jalapeños are selected, cleaned and slowly dried and smoked over mesquite wood. The pods are then processed into coarse flakes of 1–3 mm and packed in bulk units of approx. 1.05 kg for foodservice, catering and food manufacturers.

Key features

Typical is the combination of moderate heat, fruity notes and a pronounced smoky aroma. The granular, coarse flake size provides visible chilli pieces, a more intense mouthfeel and excellent blendability in Biova spice mixes and rubs.

Origin and processing differences

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

Taste & aroma

On the palate 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 colour ensures an appetising appearance in sauces, rubs and spice blends.
