Cracked Red Jalapeño Chilli
Ab CHF 11.–
Red jalapeño, coarsely cracked and deliberately not smoked – air-dried for a fruity, slightly sweet aroma profile. Pleasant, integrated heat of about 25,000–40,000 Scoville; ideal for dishes with depth without dominance.
· Category: chilli, cracked
· Taste: fruity, slightly sweet, subtle paprika note, medium-hot
· Use: jambalaya, gumbos, braises, rubs, marinades, tomato sauces
· Format: 60g jar / 300g stand-up pouch
My tip: For jambalaya or creole stews I mix red jalapeño with paprika and oregano; briefly toast in oil and then cook it in – that way the fruit stays noticeable and the heat cleanly integrated.
Origin & Story
The jalapeño is one of the best-known chilli varieties in the world. Named after the Mexican town of Xalapa (Jalapa), it's harvested unripe in its green form, while the red variety is allowed to ripen fully. This gives it a sweet, fruity, deeper aroma profile. In Mexico, ripe jalapeños are usually smoked and processed into chipotle. Our red jalapeño, by contrast, is not smoked, but gently air-dried – to preserve its natural, fruity seasoning. The heat sits at about 25,000–40,000 Scoville.
Highlights
The cracked form preserves the structure, fruit and colour of the pod. The aroma is round, soft and slightly sweet – with mild to medium heat. Ideal for anyone who wants depth without dominant heat. Processing is single-batch at Manufaktur Funke; the exact cut size stays my secret.
Quality
The jalapeños come from controlled cultivation in China. After harvest they are destemmed, air-dried and coarsely cracked – without additives, without anti-caking agents, without technical aids.
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
I like using red jalapeño for jambalaya or creole stews. Combined with paprika and oregano, you get a mild, savoury base for rubs and sauces with depth.
Recommended use
- For jambalaya, gumbos and braises
