Pimenta de Neyde

Curiosities: Il nome deriva dalla sua fortunata scopritrice: Neyde Hidalgo che trovò una pianta di Pimenta De Neyde nata spontaneamente nel suo giardino in Brasile.
Ha una caratteristica molto rara per un peperoncino, ossia che i frutti mantengono lo stesso colore durante tutta la fase di maturazione, rimanendo di una tonalità di viola molto scura, quasi nera.

Fruit characteristics: The plant looks like a branched sapling and can reach a height of more than 2 meters, This very tasty and moderately spicy variety changes its chile color from purplish to marked black when fully ripe. The fruits have pendulous habit and reach the size of about 6 cm, and have a crisp and not very fleshy texture.

Pepper Maremma recommends it: This variety of chili pepper has a medium spiciness and a distinctive and highly appreciated flavor. We recommend it to accompany potatoes: whether boiled, baked or fried; another winning combination is with eggs or to season pickled olives. Also used for cheese-based pasta dishes.
