I wish I knew more about the history of this beautiful and wonderfully productive chili, native to Kosovo. Though it is known and available to some extent in Europe, it has virtually no presence this side of the Atlantic and we’d like to change that. In 2015 it rivaled Czech Black as the most productive field-grown hot pepper we’ve ever grown, eventually requiring staking to prevent it from falling over from the weight of its fruit set. Uniform, canary-yellow, fruits have the approximate heat and shape of a cayenne and are great for hot sauce, powdering, or simply spicing up meals. Beautiful, productive, and hot…now a staple in our kitchen garden and very suitable for commercial production.
