HABANERO CHOCOLATE

The Habanero Chocolate has an herbaceous flavor with aromatic notes of toasted bread, briny olive paste, and sweet undertones of mahogany wood. Despite belonging to the Habanero family, it does not have extreme spiciness, with 350,000 SHU, but it has the extraordinary property of enhancing the flavors of the dishes it is paired with.

It pairs perfectly with many recipes, particularly tomato and seafood soups, vegetable flans, ribollita (a typical Tuscan dish made with beans and kale), carbonara, Chianina beef stew, pan-fried pigeon, and mixed grills. Considering its name, it naturally pairs well with chocolate, making the Sacher torte with Habanero Chocolate a must-try!

DESCRIPTION
This variety of Habanero is called "Chocolate" because the berry's color changes from green to dark brown when fully matured. Originating from Jamaica, it is also known as Black Congo and belongs to the Capsicum chinense species. Under favorable climatic conditions, the plant can grow over 2 meters tall. Its fruits are lantern-shaped, about 4-6 cm long and 2.5-5 cm wide. The maturation is later compared to other chilies.
