Chipotle chilli flakes 3–6 mm, dark red

Product description

Discover chipotle chilli in a coarsely crushed, dark red jalapeño speciality from Mexico and Spain – a classic of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking. The roughly 3–6 mm pieces add a balanced medium heat and a pronounced smoky note to your dishes.

Traditional smoking over mesquite wood creates an intensely smoky, fruity profile with stable colour that performs reliably in many applications. Biova focuses on consistent quality and a granulated product in catering packs that is particularly interesting for professional users and spice manufacturers.

In sauces, marinades, BBQ rubs or stews, chipotle chilli delivers a distinctive grilled, smoky flavour. The crushed format disperses evenly in the finished product and allows precise control of heat – ideal for foodservice, artisan producers and demanding kitchens.

Origin

Depending on availability, the jalapeño pods come from Mexico and Spain, two established growing regions with warm, sunny climates. These conditions promote even ripening, an intense red colour and a bold aroma – exactly what Biova looks for when selecting high-grade product for bulk use.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

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

Key features

Typical for this product is the combination of smoky BBQ character and fruity chilli notes with medium heat. The coarse, granulated 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 made 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 to ensure consistent professional quality.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, a clearly smoky scent with mesquite wood notes 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 dishes and modern grilling recipes.
