NAGA MORICH

The Naga Morich chili is distinguished as one of the hottest chilies in the world. Its spiciness is not "extreme" but rather "elevated," capable of exceeding 1,000,000 SHU.

In Sanskrit, “naga” means “cobra,” and like the bite of that snake, the refined and complex burn it develops in the mouth is not felt immediately, but only after a few seconds: between 5 and 7.

It has a herbaceous and fruity aroma reminiscent of green lemon peel and tropical woods. The spicy phase manifests with a delay and is accompanied by moderate vegetal notes and sweet hints akin to butter.

Perfect for enhancing dishes with complex flavors, such as slow-cooked meat roasts and ragouts. Ideal in exotic sauces.

DESCRIPTION
The Naga Morich is native to a vast region at the foothills of the Himalayas, between the Indian Assam and Bangladesh. The berry is conical in shape, rounded at the end, up to 4cm long and 2cm wide. The color of the ripe fruit is bright crimson red.
