About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The famous tapas chillies from Galicia, which you harvest young and green and fry in olive oil in the pan. The exciting part: most of the pods are mild, but every now and then you catch a really hot one, and that is part of the game. An early, high-yielding variety that keeps setting new fruit for weeks in a pot on the terrace.

Fried in hot oil and sprinkled with coarse salt they turn nutty, soft and slightly smoky. Russian roulette included, because every tenth pod carries real fire.
