Coming from a natural cross , it is much more powerful than the other varieties of its family.

Its spicy effect does not strike immediately . It starts gently , then increases in intensity , until it becomes a real fiery blaze that settles in for a long time . It is ideal for extreme sauces, ultra-spicy powders or spicy dishes , provided that it is used with caution and reserved for the initiated .
