Rocoto Aji Largo

The Rocoto Aji Largo is an ancient Andean variety recognizable by its fuzzy leaves and black seeds. It is one of the smallest varieties in the rocoto family. This variety produces thick, fleshy fruits that ripen from dark green to bright red when fully mature. Their juicy and crisp flesh offers a fruity and slightly herbaceous flavor, accompanied by a sustained but pleasant heat. The Rocoto Aji Largo stands out for its relative cold resistance compared to other chili species, thriving particularly well in temperate climates or when grown in pots in colder regions. According to many, rocotos are among the most flavorful peppers in the world! They possess exceptional culinary potential thanks to their thick, juicy, and fragrant flesh, which holds up perfectly to cooking. Their moderate and fruity heat pairs wonderfully with almost all types of dishes.
