Aji Charapita (Wild Peruvian Chili Pepper in English) is a tropical pepper that originates in the Jungle of Peru, exactly between & along the Ucayali & Amazon rivers, mainly in the regions of Loreto & Ucayali & partly in the regions of Amazon, San Martin & Madre de Dios. Wild chili pepper species was thought to be extinct for over 50 years until it was rediscovered! With Scoville Units: 30000 - 50000, equal to a Cayenne pepper, it is a very spicy pepper with a very distinguished delicious fruity flavor which is amazingly fresh & highly aromatic. This pepper, known as one of the best tasting chilis in the world, is highly sought after & highly valued by Gourmet Chefs world wide. Every step of growing, harvesting & processing Charapitas needs to be done by hand, & it is very delicate, time consuming & very labor intense. The plants grow best in tropical climate, & need constant tender care. These are the main reasons that the Aji Charapita essentially only grows wild & is typically not grown commercially. Because of the difficulties growing this pepper, & being highly desired by many chefs & gourmets world wide it is called the most expensive pepper in the world. Chefs will pay up to $ 25.000 for a kilo of dried Charapitas. Our farm in Miami, South Florida, one of only a very view, started to grow Charapitas successfully commercially in the beginning of 2020 after 5 years of trials & setbacks. Aji Charapita Paste Fresh
