Chilli<\/h1><\/div>\n

Variety with control \u2013 from the type to the spiciness<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Chilli is not a commodity for chance. Variety, origin, climate, harvest time and processing determine spiciness, colour and aroma. Therefore, small variations can have a big impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Selected by ARONA bundles varietal expertise and rigorous quality control here. We work with specialist partners in Spain, Central America, and the USA, are regularly on-site, and personally oversee cultivation, harvesting, and processing. Together, we define varietal profiles, heat levels, and technical specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Reproducible sharpness through controlled processing<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Controlled drying, precise milling and clear batch management result in chilli products with reproducible heat, stable sensory properties and high industrial process security. <\/p>\n

A central parameter in this is the defined pungency. Through standardised Scoville ranges and analytical determination of capsaicin content, it is ensured that the intensity and flavour profile precisely match the respective product specifications. Tight tolerance ranges enable reliable scaling of recipes \u2013 from mild, fruity warmth to highly intense capsaicin profiles. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In addition to sharpness, colour quality also plays a crucial role. Depending on the variety and application, defined ASTA colour values are used as a basis and checked on a batch-by-batch basis. This ensures that colour intensity and visual impact remain constant and reproducible in sauces, spice blends, or convenience products. <\/p>\n

This combination of varietal purity, analytical control, and clear specification management makes Chili Selected by ARONA a precisely controllable raw material \u2013 not only sensorially but also technically. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
