Chipotle Chilli, Ground

Origin & Story

Chipotle is nothing other than a smoked jalapeño – originally from Mexico, today a firm part of Tex-Mex cuisine. Once ripe, the chillies are slowly dried over wood smoke, which gives them their typical character: warm, smoky, lightly sweet with a mild to medium heat. In sauces, salsas and marinades, Chipotle has long been indispensable.

Highlights

Only fully ripe, red jalapeños are used. The chillies are traditionally smoked over mesquite wood, gently dried and finely ground – with no artificial smoke flavourings, no additives. The aroma is deep, smoky and lightly fruity, the heat sits at around 15,000 to 30,000 Scoville. The powder scatters easily and dissolves instantly – ideal for refining liquid or creamy preparations. Processing is single-batch at Manufaktur Funke. The exact selection stays my secret.

Quality

The Chipotle chillies come from controlled cultivation in Mexico. After harvest they are traditionally smoked, destemmed, dried and finely ground – with no processing aids, no additives, no anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.

Tip from Tobias Funke

For my chipotle mayonnaise I mix the powder with a little honey, mustard and a splash of lime. Perfect with pulled pork, chips or grilled vegetables – creamy, smoky, balanced.

Recommended use

• For BBQ sauces, rubs and marinades
