- Category: chilli, whole
- Taste: fruity, citrusy, floral, lingering heat
- Use: Lomo Saltado, ceviche, salsas, stocks, chilli oil
- Format: 25 g jar, 200 g stand-up pouch
My tip: Cook two or three whole berries along in the Lomo Saltado – no more. The heat builds slowly and works in a targeted way.
Origin & Story
The Charapita chilli comes from the Peruvian Amazon, near the border with Brazil. It grows wild, not cultivated – and has been hand-harvested by local gatherers for generations. The small, bright yellow berries are considered one of the most intense wild chillies of South America. With a heat of up to 100,000 Scoville, it brings not only fire but a fruity, citrusy aroma profile with floral notes.
Highlights
Only whole, intact berries from wild harvesting are processed. Drying takes place directly after harvest under controlled conditions in the sun – no technical aids, no additives. The aroma is bright, fruity and precise, the heat builds slowly and stays persistently present. Processing is done single-batch at Manufaktur Funke. The exact selection remains my secret.
Quality
The Charapita chillies come from pure wild harvesting in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are carefully hand-picked, sorted and dried – no stem, no breakage, no anti-caking agents or preservatives.
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 cook two or three whole berries along in the Lomo Saltado – no more. Afterwards you can remove them or leave them in, depending on your courage. The heat comes delayed, but targeted. Ideal combined with cumin and onion.
Recommended use
- For Peruvian dishes such as Lomo Saltado or ceviche
