Whole Red Savina Habanero Chili

The Red Savina Habanero Chili is now available whole! Full of flavour and extremely hot!

For over 12 years, from 1994 to 2006, the Habanero Red Savina held the world record of the hottest Chili, before it was replaced by the Bhut Jolokia. With a heat level between 100,000 and 500,000 Scoville units it still  rightly occupies one of the top positions among the world’s extreme chillies.

The Habanero Red Savina has a unique taste that is very distinctive, often described as "fruity", and it has a prompt and intense heat. Its tropical-fruity aroma is ideal for salsas, sauces and tropical fruits, as well as for dishes that have a very subtle taste, such as fish, white meat and even desserts.

Either crunch the whole dried chillies straight into your cooking or rehydrate them first by soaking for about 10-20 minutes in very hot (90°C) water (not too much!). Then you can use them almost as fresh chillies for sauces, salsas and stews.
