This little round chilli comes from Mexico and is an “ornamental chilli” also called “bird chilli”. It is very spicy and releases supple and fruity notes which make it the perfect partner for your chili con carne and grilled meats.
This chilli pepper is obtained by crossing two varieties of extra strong chilli peppers. Be warned, it will not leave your tastebuds unscathed! Spices up sauces, chili con carne, pizzas and flavoured oils.
Assam pepper is picked in the Brahmaputra river valleys, in North-East India.
It releases spicy yet refreshing notes with a zingy tang. Crush it roughly with a pestle and mortar and sprinkle over your winter vegetables, delicate fish or grilled meat.
The sweet and juicy flesh so characteristic of pears goes wondrously with the animal notes of white Penja pepper and will enchant all your poultry and blue cheese. Truly divine with foie gras!
