Authentic only from the Bergamo region - heat level 3 / 1500 Scoville
Crisp, aromatic chilies from the Bergamo region. They resemble cayenne peppers in appearance, but the green and red varieties are significantly milder in flavor.
Native to tropical Central America.
In the kitchen: Varieties up to a heat level of 5 are suitable sliced in salads and stuffed with ground meat or cheese, then baked. Hotter varieties can be added in small quantities to stews, stir-fries, goulash, and bean dishes. Removing the seeds and inner membrane reduces the heat. Always wear gloves when preparing chilies.
