Our Chillies

Cayenne Pepper

A mildly hot chilli with an earthy, slightly smoky flavor. Well-balanced in heat, it offers a bold yet approachable spice.

African Bird’s Eye Chilli

Also known as Piri Piri, this fiery chilli is prized for its sharp heat and bright, citrusy undertones, making it a standout in high-heat varieties.

Paprika

More than just color—our more gentle spice paprika delivers a subtle sweetness with a warm, earthy depth.
