SHORT DESCRIPTION

Patagonia Canelo berry pepper from Chile – the spice specialty at STAY SPICED! Patagonia Canelo berry pepper is a truly exceptional variety among peppers!

It is interesting to note that Patagonia Canelo berry pepper is not pepper in the traditional sense - as the name suggests, it is actually the berries of the Magellanic winter bark, a shrub that can grow up to 20 meters tall. The berries, which have a deep purple color, are harvested from March to May, which once again makes berry pepper one of the most exclusive types of pepper. In Chile, Brazil and India, the bark of the shrub itself is increasingly used as a pepper substitute.

USE

Patagonia Canelo berry pepper should definitely be crushed in a mortar or chopped with a knife and NOT ground in a pepper mill. When crushed or chopped, Patagonia Canelo berry pepper can develop its wonderful flavor to its full potential. This pepper specialty goes well with dark meat, game dishes, braised recipes, dips and sauces. Tip: Patagonia pepper also goes well with desserts with exotic fruits such as pineapple, mango or papaya thanks to its sweet notes - be brave and try it out, even with chocolatey versions! But always season your food with it at the end of cooking, because the flavor would be destroyed by heat.

GOOD TO KNOW
Braised and game dishes, dark meat, sauces and dips can be perfectly refined with Patagonia pepper. And if you like trying new things, you should definitely try this pepper specialty with fruity desserts with mango, pineapple or papaya - thanks to its sweetness and cinnamon notes, it comes into its own here. It's also an absolute hit with chocolate!

TASTE

The Patagonia Canelo berry pepper from Chile has a fruity, sweet aroma that is even reminiscent of cinnamon with its excellent taste. The spiciness of the Patagonia Canelo berry pepper gradually intensifies on the palate and leaves a slightly numb feeling on the tongue - similar to Sichuan pepper, but fruitier and rounder. It is also similar to the Tasmanian mountain pepper from Australia - it is even related to it!
