About Chilli Oleoresin

Chilli Oleoresin is a highly concentrated natural extract obtained from premium quality red chilli peppers (Capsicum annuum / Capsicum frutescens). Unlike chilli powder, oleoresin is a pure concentrated extract that delivers consistent heat, colour, and flavour in a small, easy-to-handle volume — making it the preferred choice for food manufacturers who require standardised pungency and colour in every batch.

SV Botanica sources premium chilli varieties from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan — regions renowned for high capsaicin content and vibrant natural red pigmentation. Our oleoresin is produced in GMP and ISO certified facilities with precise extraction processes that preserve the full capsaicinoid profile and natural colour pigments.
