Deeply smoky, subtly sweet and wonderfully warming, Ground Chipotle Chilli brings bold Mexican character to the kitchen.

Chipotle begins life as a jalapeño, left to ripen on the vine until it develops its characteristic deep red colour. The ripe chillies are then slowly dried and smoked over wood, transforming the fresh pepper into something altogether richer, smoky, fruity and deeply savoury.

Our Ground Chipotle Chilli captures that distinctive character in an easy-to-use powder. Expect layers of smoke, ripe berry, cherry, tomato and gentle earthy warmth, followed by a lingering, medium heat. With a heat level of approximately 13,000–28,000 Scoville Heat Units, chipotle delivers a satisfying chilli kick while allowing its complex flavour to shine.

The name chipotle comes from the Nahuatl word chīlpōctli, meaning “smoked chilli” a fitting name for a chilli defined by the slow, wood-smoked process that gives it its unmistakable flavour.

A natural companion to bold, savoury cooking, Ground Chipotle Chilli adds smoky depth to chilli con carne, beans, tacos, salsas, marinades, roasted vegetables and spice rubs. It can also be used wherever you might reach for black pepper, bringing a distinctly smoky warmth and fruity complexity in its place.

From Jalapeño to Chipotle (chip-oat-lay)

Mexico has a fascinating tradition of chillies taking on new identities as they are transformed. A fresh jalapeño becomes a chipotle when it is allowed to ripen and then dried through smoking, revealing an entirely different expression of the same pepper.

It is this transformation that makes chipotle so special, the fresh, grassy character of the jalapeño gives way to smoke, sweetness, fruit and warmth, creating one of Mexico's most distinctive chillies.

A pantry essential for adding smoky depth, fruity sweetness and satisfying heat to everyday cooking.
