The red and round Wiri Wiri chilli is the cousin of the Cayenne chilli pepper from Guyana. It grows vertically, in a warm and moist climate at the edges of the tropical forest. It looks a bit like a cherry so is often called “cherry chilli”. Its strong flavour has aromas of tomatoes. Use sparingly. It will enliven your stews, soups and sauces.
This confit is made with fresh pineapple and white Penja pepper. It releases sweet, animal and slightly spicy notes. Use it like jam or for enhancing sauces.
The outstanding character and flavour of this black Penja pepper are due to the naturally rich and balanced volcanic soils in which it grows. In 2014, it became the first product of the African continent to obtain Protected Geographic Indication status (PGI). This black Penja pepper will delight your stews, goat cheese and strong flavoured meats.
