Ohly expands PRODRY range with new chipotle, aged jalapeño hot sauce powders

GERMANY – Ohly, a global supplier of natural, yeast-based ingredients and culinary powders, has launched two new hot sauce powders: PRODRY Chipotle Puree Powder and PRODRY Aged Red Jalapeño Sauce Powder.

PRODRY® Chipotle Puree Powder delivers a harmonious blend of earthy and fruity elements layered with a vibrant edge of chilli pepper. Smoked over pecan wood, it is ideal for those seeking depth, character, and a bold chilli experience. 

It carries a balanced, subtle, slightly acidic, prune undertone, adding savoury, fermented complexity to a range of culinary applications – from snack seasonings and dry mixes to sauces, glazes, and topical coatings.

Meanwhile, PRODRY® Aged Red Jalapeño Sauce Powder is an excellent way to introduce bold, sriracha-style flavours with a rich, mature twist. 

Crafted from carefully aged red jalapeños, this versatile ingredient adds a vibrant kick and deep fermented character to a wide range of culinary applications – from snack seasonings and dry mixes to sauces, glazes, and topical coatings.

It’s a perfect fit for any creation where a punchy, fermented chilli note is desired.

The new products expand Ohly’s existing line of ProDry culinary powders, which includes offerings such as PRODRY The Original Louisiana Hot Sauce Powder, PRODRY Brined Jalapeño Powder, PRODRY Cayenne Pepper Sauce Powder, and PRODRY Mustard Powders.

These spray-dried hot sauce powders retain a more complex taste than dry spices, allowing manufacturers to deliver authentic flavours with long-lasting flavour sensations and natural colour.

Daria Pashkova, product and marketing manager at Ohly, noted that “Current hot sauce trends reflect a growing preference for complex and contrasting flavour profiles, particularly the combination of sweet and spicy taste sensations, like honey-chipotle or mango-habanero.”

She highlighted how these trends indicate the industry’s move towards more nuanced flavour compositions that balance heat and flavour in new and exciting ways. To gain attention and stay competitive, manufacturers are finding new ways to incorporate these flavour trends into their product formulations.

“Unconventional pairings continue to gain popularity, emphasising a broader shift in consumer curiosity. Chipotle stands out as an ever-popular example, favoured for its rich, smoky undertones, while jalapeño offers a bright, vibrant heat,” she added.

These innovations are particularly relevant as manufacturers strive to differentiate their products in a competitive marketplace. 

Their versatility and ability to deliver complex flavours, allow for seamless incorporation into various formulations, making them an attractive option for companies looking to enhance their product offerings.
