Organic Carolina Reaper – extreme heat in its most exquisite form

From Gscheiderei: The world's hottest chili, cultivated with care

This chili is not for the faint of heart – but a must for true gourmets: The Carolina Reaper is one of the hottest chilies in the world. At Gscheiderei in Tullnerfeld, it is grown in true organic quality – with patience, knowledge, and great love for the plant. Each individual fruit ripens under natural conditions to develop the full heat and fruity aroma that makes this variety so special. Gscheiderei stands for the finest chili cultivation from regional farming – hand-picked and with respect for nature and taste.

This variety is based on the legendary "Carolina Reaper" breeding, which was created by breeder Ed Currie in South Carolina. It combines the highest heat with a surprisingly fruity-sweet aroma.

When using the Carolina Reaper, extreme caution is advised: The heat level is in the extreme range, comparable to over 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) on average, with peak values reaching up to 2.2 million SHU – making it officially the hottest chili in the world until October 2023. Even a tiny bite is enough to give dishes an explosive heat. Therefore, it is recommended to proceed sparingly and carefully and ideally to use gloves when handling. 

For inexperienced users, however, great caution is advised: Even brief contact or unintentional skin contact can cause burning. Due to its intense effect, one should also be extremely careful with the dosage and only use it in a very diluted form. After all, this organic chili is not just a spice – it is a gastronomic adventure with maximum impact and conscious handling.
