What is Jalapeno Chilli?
Probably the most popular and characteristically Mexican ingredient originally from Veracruz, Mexico. Jalapeño is recognized among all different types of chilies, being the king, not only in Mexico, but all around the world. This chilli has proven to be the ideal topping for nachos (read our article about Tortilla Chips) and the perfect addition to any dish in need of a bit of a “spicy kick” without distracting from the food’s flavour.
Jalapeno is also used as the main ingredient in many Mexican Products. In this case, we are recommending the Jalapeño itself. In our catalogue, there are multiple presentations for you to include in your stock for summer.
We highly recommend:
How do Europeans use Jalapeños?
As mentioned before, Jalapeño can be used in several dishes.
In a whole presentation, Jalapeno can be served as an appetizer. For instance, in a dish with Jalapeno peppers stuffed with Ferman flavours of Bavarian sauerkraut, Pilsner beer, and cheese, served with sour cream and Bavarian mustard sauce.
Sliced Jalapeños give a fantastic twist to an Asparagus Tart with Spinach and go perfectly with any kind of pizza. What is most amazing about Jalapeños is that they also mix well with some cocktails.
Have you ever heard about Jalapeño Margaritas? This beverage is delicious and your customers will take their happy hour and summer pool parties to another level.
Arranging Jalapeños in a grocery store
Many medium and large grocery stores organize the imported products in a single separate section. We recommend you to arrange Mexican products in the shelves your customers find their groceries.
This way you increase your client’s chances to find these products and understand how to use them. Even if they don’t grab them at first sight, once they get used to seeing Mexican products on a regular basis, the subconscious brain becomes familiar with the brands you included and is easier to buy them in next occasions.
Jalapeños can be located next to pasta, besides vegetables, or even near the meats section. Make sure to give them a broad presence in the racks so they are visible enough and caught up the customer’s eye.
When first launching Jalapeños, remember to place them in a unique location. It can be on a lateral shelf of a hallway or a centerpiece right in front of the entrance.
