The Chocolate Habanero boasts a remarkable taste profile, delivering a surprising twist to its name. While anticipated to offer a chocolate flavour, it pleasantly surprises with a wonderful passion fruit-like taste. This unexpected fruity undertone adds depth to its culinary applications.
Chocolate habaneros have a deep, rich, and smoky flavor that starts off with fruity notes and then builds to a searing heat. They are very hot, with a Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating of around 425,000–577,000. This is about double the heat of a regular habanero. Chocolate habaneros start out green and mature to a chocolate brown color. They are typically 3–5 cm long and have thin walls. Chocolate habaneros are great for adding a touch of heat to dishes, and can be used in marinades, chutneys, and sauces.
Brown Habaneros sit at the apex of the balance between heat and flavour and are usually a part of every one of our recipes.
