Variety and origin

Our chillies come from different regions, each with their own climatic conditions and cultivation methods. This diversity is reflected in the unique flavor profiles and heat levels. From Mexican jalapeños to Indian bhut jolokia - we have the perfect chilli for every dish.

Mexican chillies

Mexico is home to many well-known chilli varieties. Jalapeños, habaneros and poblano chilies are just some of the varieties that thrive here. They are essential for Mexican cuisine and add a pleasant heat and fruity aroma to salsas, tacos and stews.

Indian chillies

India is known for its fiery chilies, such as Bhut Jolokia and Kashmiri chili. These chilies are not only hot, but also rich in flavor. They are often used in curries, chutneys and marinades to add depth and intensity to dishes.

Asian chilies

Chillies play a central role in Asian cuisine. Varieties such as Thai chilli and Sichuan pepper are known for their intense heat and unique aroma. They are ideal for wok dishes, soups and sauces and bring an unmistakable spiciness to your cooking.

Tips for use

Using chilli correctly can significantly improve the taste of your dishes. Here are some tips on how to get the best out of your chilies:

Fresh chilies

Fresh chilies are great for salsas, salads and quick stir-fries. Chop them finely to distribute the heat evenly and add to taste.

Dried chillies

Dried chillies have an intense flavor and are ideal for long cooking. They can be used whole, ground or as flakes. Soaking in warm water before use can improve the texture and release the flavors.

Chili powder and flakes

Chilli powder and flakes are versatile and can be sprinkled directly into dishes. They are perfect for soups, stews and marinades to ensure even heat.

Perfect combinations

Chillies are great for combining with different ingredients to enhance the flavor. Here are some popular combinations:

Chili and chocolate

The combination of chili and chocolate may sound unusual, but it is heavenly. The spiciness of the chili enhances the sweetness of the chocolate and adds an exciting touch to desserts and hot drinks.

Chili and citrus fruits

The fresh acidity of citrus fruits such as limes or oranges perfectly complements the spiciness of the chilli. This combination is particularly suitable for salsas, marinades and salads.

Chili and garlic

Chili and garlic are an unbeatable duo. The strong taste of garlic harmonizes perfectly with the spiciness of chilli and adds depth and spice to your dishes.
