Habanero Red Savina, cracked

Origin & Story

The Red Savina is considered one of the most defining habanero varieties. Originally bred in Mexico, it was traded for decades as the hottest chilli in the world – with measured values of up to 577,000 Scoville. Today it counts among the classics of gourmet cooking, prized for its combination of tropical-fruit aroma and intense heat.

Highlights

This Red Savina is not ground but coarsely cracked. This preserves its natural fruitiness and lets the heat build more slowly, but clearly. The aroma profile includes notes of paprika, citrus and ripe fruit – with a warming finish. The cracked structure suits any dish that calls for aromatic depth and controllable heat. The blend is processed exclusively at Manufaktur Funke. The exact cut size remains my secret.

Quality

The Red Savina chillies come from controlled cultivation in Ecuador. The fruits are harvested ripe, carefully dried, de-stemmed and gently cracked – no additives, no anti-caking agents, no technical aids.
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

Half a teaspoon is enough for a jar of chutney – more is rarely needed. Stirred into melted dark chocolate, it creates an elegant, hot-and-fruity combination with character.

Recommended use

• For hot chutneys, sauces or dips

• In Caribbean and Mexican recipes

• For making chilli oil or honey

• For marinades with citrus, rum or pineapple
