Origin: Mexico Net volume and weight: 50 ml / 30 g / 1.05 oz €363.33/kg Ingredients: Capsicum annuum Scoville scale intensity: 5 (pepper labeled "Hot"). Description: The Chipotle pepper is simply the Jalapeño pepper fully ripened, then dried and smoked using an ancestral method inherited from Aztec times. Grown primarily in Mexico, often by small family farms, it is harvested between August and October, when its deep red color indicates it is ready. It is then slowly dried and smoked for several days until it takes on a dark brown color and incomparable aromas. Very popular in Mexico as well as the United States, Chipotle is valued for its rich aromatic profile: dried fruits, woody and smoky notes, with nuances reminiscent of fig, raisin, cocoa, and burnt wood. On our simplified Scoville scale, its intensity is 5 out of 10: a moderate heat balanced by great depth of flavor. Usage tips: With its moderate heat, Chipotle is very easy to use. It will wonderfully enhance caramelized barbecue meats, seafood such as fish or prawns. It pairs very well with roasted vegetables accompanied by olive oil and aromatic herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can infuse it into a sauce, a persillade, a marinade, a butter, or an oil. It beautifully elevates hummus, a spread with cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes or marinated peppers, or guacamole. This pepper pairs very well with Mediterranean cuisine in general, based on olive oil and tomatoes, but particularly with Spanish cuisine, combined with olive preparations, fresh cheeses, tapas, chorizo, paella, sobrassada. It is also a staple of Mexican cuisine and can be added to many traditional dishes. In desserts, it will bring a very nice original touch with dark chocolate or to make a praline. It can also be used in mixology, notably to make a syrup for a rum- or whiskey-based cocktail. Recipes: *
