What is it about / Product description

This Trinidad Scorpion from Ecuador is one of the hottest chilies in the world and is offered here coarsely crushed with a grain size of 2–5 mm. The bright red chili flakes bring intense color and a distinctly fruity aroma to your kitchen. With a heat level of around 650,000–700,000 Scoville, this spice is intended for experienced lovers of extreme heat.

At Biova, great importance is attached to careful selection and gentle drying so that the typical aromas of the Capsicum chinense chili are preserved as well as possible. The coarse structure of the crushed product allows very precise dosing, so you can control heat and flavor in a targeted way. As bulk goods, this product is ideal for professional users, manufacturers and ambitious home cooks.

Use the crushed Trinidad Scorpion chili to give sauces, marinades, stews or BBQ rubs an extremely fiery note. Even the smallest amounts are enough to noticeably increase the heat of dishes and refine them with intense fruity chili flavor. Please handle this ultra-hot spice with care and keep it out of reach of children.

Origin

The crushed Trinidad Scorpion chili comes from Ecuador, where the warm, partly humid-tropical climate offers ideal conditions for Capsicum chinense. Altitude, sunlight and nutrient-rich soils support the development of an intense aroma. Biova relies on long-standing partners to ensure consistent quality of the raw material.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The chili plants are cultivated in specialized farms and harvested at the optimal ripening time, when the fruits have reached their typical red color and maximum heat. After harvesting, the pods are gently dried to preserve aroma and heat. They are then coarsely crushed to 2–5 mm before being packed as bulk goods.

Special characteristics

Characteristic of the Trinidad Scorpion is its extremely high heat of around 650,000–700,000 Scoville, combined with a surprisingly fruity aroma. The coarse grain size allows good distribution in blends without immediately turning to dust. Biova ensures clean, single-variety processing so that color, smell and heat level remain consistent.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, Trinidad Scorpion chilies can vary slightly in heat, fruitiness and color. Ecuadorian cultivation is characterized by a particularly well-balanced ratio of heat to fruitiness. Gentle drying and controlled crushing at Biova additionally help to keep the sensory properties stable.

Taste & aroma

In terms of aroma, Trinidad Scorpion shows intense, fruity chili notes with a slightly tropical character. In taste, it first appears aromatic and fruity, followed by a very quickly setting, long-lasting burn. When used sparingly, the heat does not immediately overpower all other aromas, which makes this chili well suited for characterful dishes.
