Flavour & aroma: Red Savina Habanero has a fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe apricots. When ground into powder, it develops floral notes, black tea and spicy notes reminiscent of coriander seeds.
Habanero Red Savina has a heat level of almost 600,000 SHU. The powder is therefore not for beginners. Habanero is also rightly known as "Dominican devil's tongue" and "fireball". The habanero chilli actually comes from the Caribbean and is mainly grown in South America (Mexico) and in the south of the USA (California and Texas). But this wonderful and fiery hot chilli pepper is also grown in Italy, in Tuscany to be precise. At the Azienda Agricola Rita Salvadori (Peperita).
This enchanting farm is located in the picturesque heart of Tuscany, between the idyllic towns of Bolgheri and Bibbona. For three generations, the farm has stood for Italian quality and enjoyment. The organic farm is a true paradise of variety and a paradise for chilli lovers. In addition to passionately tended chilli and vegetable fields, there are olive groves and orchards that enrich the flavour of the products. During production, the powder is processed gently in order to preserve the characteristic flavours of the chilli pepper as unadulterated as possible.
The habanero family has many varieties. The Red Savina is probably the best known. The fruit has the shape of a lantern with an elongated tip. The pod is initially green and turns an intense orange to deep red colour as it ripens. Among the various healthy microelements, the Habanero Red Savina contains vitamin A, which helps to keep eyes, hair and skin healthy, and above all vitamin C, which not only inhibits the spread of free radicals, but is also useful and necessary to strengthen the immune system's barriers and reduce the risk of cancer by inhibiting the synthesis of carcinogenic substances. Recent studies have also scientifically confirmed that eating peppers at least four times a week halves the risk of heart attack.
Azienda Agricola Rita Salvadori (Peperita) cultivates and processes chilli peppers according to organic and biodynamic standards. This means that no chemical agents such as pesticides or herbicides are used during cultivation. A wide variety of fruits and herbs are grown at Azienda Agricola Rita Salvadori. This diversity proves to be an advantage, as flora and fauna flourish on the farm. The flavour of Peperita's jalapeño powder demonstrates the benefits of sustainable cultivation.
