Dried chiltepin chili peppers from Aroma Foods 15g

Spicyness:

According to some sources, the chiltepin chili is the original form of all known types of peppers and chilies today - but it is still relatively unknown in Europe and little known to salsa manufacturers. The small, round chiltepin peppers are characterized not only by their distinctive appearance, but also by their unique taste and unmistakable hot aroma.

Chiltepin grows in the deserts of northern Mexico, where it is part of the culinary tradition and is known for its impressive spiciness of around 80,000 Scoville.

These peppers are 100% natural and free from additives, which underlines their pure and unadulterated taste. Packaged in a sustainable, resealable bag, the chili chiltepin is ideal for enhancing sauces, soups and many other dishes. It enhances the taste of the food without dominating it, which makes it particularly interesting for lovers of spicy flavors.

If you want to get to know a really hot chili in addition to the habanero, then this is your chance. These peppers can also be ground with a molcajete.

Note:

Unfortunately, Aroma Foods, a small Hamburg-based company that brought the chilies to the German market, will be discontinuing the chiltepin business completely. That's why there will probably be no more from there. So better stock up on a little more. We will of course try to find another supplier afterwards.
