Cayenne

Balanced warmth and clean chili character, which makes this one of the most useful jars in the range for everyday cooking. Fermented from fresh cayenne and salt, the crush deepens in flavour and aroma as it matures, and works as a concentrated base for your own sauces, salsas, dips and marinades. Cayenne is one of the best known chili strains in the world, recognised for an intense red and a straight chili taste with no dominant fruit or smoke.

At around 50,000 SHU the burn is clearly there and still comfortable. The chili's own flavour leads instead of the heat, which is what makes it an everyday jar. Use it to build sauces, to marinate meat, fish and vegetables, or to put real chili into soups, stews and grilled food. A small amount carries a lot.

Ingredients: Cayenne chili (86%), salt, acidity regulator (acetic acid).
