The Scent: Demeter's Chipotle Pepper develops with an earthy, but mild spiciness, representative of the heat and distinctive smokiness that has made Chipotle a favorite American flavor. The scent, however, is very clean and fresh, while retaining some of the spice.
The Story: Interestingly enough, Chipotles are late season Jalapeño Peppers that are allowed to ripen to a deep red. Then, when they have the lowest moisture content, they are picked and smoked for several days. Generally, 10 pounds of Jalapeño will make 1 pound of Chipotle.
