Chipotle chilli flakes 3–6 mm, dark red, bulk

Product description

Chipotle chilli is smoked jalapeño from Mexico and Spain and is a classic of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The coarsely crushed pieces, around 3–6 mm in size, are a deep dark red and add a balanced, medium heat to your dishes.

Traditional smoking over mesquite wood creates an intense smoky-fruity aroma with stable colour that performs reliably in many applications. Biova supplies this chilli speciality as a granulated bulk product with consistent quality, ideal for professional users and spice manufacturers.

In sauces, marinades, BBQ rubs and stews, chipotle chilli delivers a distinctive smoky, grilled note. The crushed format distributes evenly in the dish and allows precise control of heat, both in everyday cooking and in foodservice.

Origin

Depending on availability, the jalapeño pods come from Mexico and Spain, two established growing regions with a warm, sunny climate. These conditions promote even ripening, an intense red colour and a pronounced aroma, which Biova specifically selects for high-quality bulk products.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The chillies are grown in open fields or protected facilities and harvested at full maturity. They are then traditionally smoked over mesquite wood, gently dried and coarsely crushed to around 3–6 mm before being packed in units of approx. 1.05 kg for further processing.

Key features

Typical is the combination of smoky BBQ notes and fruity chilli character with medium heat. The coarse cut ensures good visibility in the finished product and a longer-lasting aroma, making this spice particularly suitable for spice blends, rubs and convenience products produced by Biova customers.

Differences in origin and processing

Mexican material often offers a particularly intense smoke aroma and traditionally influenced smoking methods. Spanish qualities are characterised by very uniform particle size and carefully selected fruits; depending on the harvest year, Biova combines the best lots for consistent professional quality.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, a clearly smoky scent with notes of mesquite wood and fruity chilli aromas dominates. On the palate, it shows a pleasant, medium heat that does not overpower other ingredients but supports them – ideal for BBQ, Tex-Mex cuisine and modern grilling recipes.
