Ab CHF 14.–

· Category: chilli, cracked
· Taste: extremely hot, tropical-fruity, citrussy, lingering
· Use: salsas, dips, BBQ rubs, chilli oil, stews/stocks, grilled vegetables/pizza
· Format: 25g jar, 100g stand-up pouch
My tip: A knife-tip is enough. I use it in tomato salsa or as a finish on grilled vegetables and don’t heat it too much – the heat stays present for a long time.
Origin & Story
The Trinidad Scorpion originally comes from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and owes its name to its characteristic, stinger-like fruit tip. Our chillies grow under optimal conditions in Ecuador and reach a heat of up to 1,200,000 Scoville. That makes it one of the hottest chilli varieties in the world. Its aroma profile is nonetheless surprisingly nuanced – with fruity, tropical notes and citrus-like freshness.
Highlights
The pods are harvested ripe, gently dried and coarsely cracked – so the aroma, structure and natural heat are fully preserved. The texture is especially suited to targeted use in hot sauces, rubs or oils. Processing is done single-batch at Manufaktur Funke. The exact cut size remains my secret.
Quality
The Trinidad Scorpion chillies come from controlled cultivation in Ecuador. Only fully ripened, bright red pods are processed – no additives, no technical aids, 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
A knife-tip is enough – you need no more. I use it in tomato salsa or as a finish on grilled vegetables. Important: always dose it with respect and don't overheat it – the heat stays present for a long time.
