How to use Especial mild chilli in cooking

Especial mild chilli works equally well in slow-cooked and stir-fried dishes, marinades and even desserts. Its rich flavour and subtle aroma make it an excellent ingredient for sauces, soups and stews, adding another dimension of taste without the strength of traditional chillies. It is also perfect in spice blends, as a salad topping and as a decorative ingredient, adding colour and character without overwhelming dishes with heat.

Intensity:

Spanish mild chilli, often called “Pimiento”, is known for its mild, juicy flavour rather than its heat. On the Scoville scale, which measures chilli heat in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Spanish mild chilli generally falls in the lowest range, between 0 and 1,000 SHU. This means it has little or no heat, making it ideal for dishes where flavour is wanted without spiciness.

The history of Especial mild chilli

Especial mild chilli owes its origins to generations of dedicated growers who carefully selected and crossed varieties to obtain a spice combining rich flavour with moderate heat. This quest for perfection produced a unique variety that became an essential choice for chefs and food lovers seeking uncompromising quality. Especial mild chilli has thus become a symbol of commitment to excellence and culinary tradition.
