Jalapeño Paste Export FAQ: Flavor, Heat Level, Packaging & Certifications

Green jalapeno paste is made from farm-fresh, unripe green jalapeno chillies (Capsicum Annum L, jalapeno cultivar) that are sorted, washed, and mechanically ground to a smooth, consistent finesse. At Aromas and Flavors International (ARFLINT), Erode, Tamil Nadu, production is conducted under FSSC 22000 (TÜV SÜD), HACCP, and GMP certified conditions, preserving the jalapeno's characteristic mild-medium heat, grassy freshness, and slightly tangy flavor profile that makes it the preferred chilli base for Western and Tex-Mex food product lines.
