Mildly hot Cayenne chilli, coarsely cracked and with around 15,000 Scoville. Fruity in aroma, even in its heat and versatile in use – from sauces to grilled dishes. The grind size lets you control the intensity you want.

My tip: I toast the cracked Cayenne chilli briefly in neutral oil – this brings out the fruity notes and makes the heat a little milder. Ideal for dips or warm sauces.
Origin & Story
Cayenne pepper is not a pepper but a pure chilli powder – named after the town of Cayenne in French Guiana. Today it is used worldwide as a hot yet finely dosable companion in warm cooking. Unlike many other chilli powders, cayenne is not bitter but clear, lingering and pleasantly warm – ideal for seasoning without masking.
Highlights
We process carefully dried and destalked chillies, selected for their even level of heat. The powder is fine, even and instantly soluble. The heat sits at around 15,000 Scoville – clearly noticeable, but not overwhelming. The flavour is direct, with no off-notes. Processing is done single-batch at Manufaktur Funke. The precise selection of the raw material remains my secret.
Quality
The cayenne pepper comes from controlled cultivation in India. The chillies are gently dried, destalked and finely ground in small batches – with no technical aids, no additives, no anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen.
100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
I use cayenne deliberately – not as the main heat, but as depth. In a black bean stew with cumin it brings a warm aftertaste that rounds off the dish without dominating.
