Chipotle: smoked jalapeño with depth
Chipotle is not a separate chilli variety, but ripe jalapeño that has been smoked and dried. This shifts its fresh chilli profile towards warm, earthy and smoky flavours.
Smoky sauce
For barbecue and burgers
Chipotle hot sauce and barbecue sauce suit burgers, pulled pork, chicken, beans and grilled vegetables. Smoke adds depth without automatically making the product extremely hot.
Snacks & condiments
More than hot sauce
Chipotle is also used in jerky, spicy peanuts, chilli oil and spice blends, bringing the same smoky character to different types of products.
