Habanero Red Savina, crushed 2–5 mm, red

Product description

Habanero Red Savina is one of the very hot chili varieties. At Biova it is offered as a coarse, crushed chili granulate with a particle size of around 2–5 mm. The bright red pieces from Ecuador combine intense heat with fruity, tropical notes and add strong visual impact to a wide range of recipes.

With a heat level of approx. 150,000–320,000 Scoville, this chili seasoning falls into the 100,001–500,000 range and is suitable wherever a clearly defined, extreme heat is required. Gentle drying and processing by Biova support stable colour, concentrated flavour and easy dosing, even for larger-scale use.

Use Habanero Red Savina specifically in sauces, marinades, BBQ rubs or spicy stews to give recipes a clearly defined chili kick. Thanks to the coarse cut, you can precisely control heat, texture and appearance and adapt them to different requirements in foodservice, artisan production and ambitious home kitchens.

Origin

The Habanero chilies come from Ecuador, where warm temperatures, abundant sunshine and suitable altitudes create ideal conditions for very hot varieties. The climate promotes even ripening, an intense red colour and a distinctly fruity aroma.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

The plants are grown in selected regions of Ecuador and harvested mainly by hand at full ripeness. The pods are then gently dried and processed into a coarse, crushed chili with a defined particle size of 2–5 mm, resulting in a granulate that is easy to dose for professional applications.

Key features

Red Savina is known for its extreme heat and fruity-tropical flavour profile, so small amounts are enough to make dishes noticeably hotter. The coarse structure of Biova’s chili granulate distributes evenly in blends and integrates perfectly into hot spice mixes, rubs and sauce recipes.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, Habaneros can vary in fruitiness, sweetness and heat; Ecuadorian material offers a well-balanced combination of sweetness and intense heat. Biova’s controlled drying and defined coarse granulate ensure reproducible results and make it easier to standardise recipes.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, this chili shows an intensely fruity aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit, with a very pronounced, long-lasting heat. On the nose, the granulate develops a spicy-fruity scent that gives dishes a distinctive, hot-fruity character.
