Aji Challuaruro Amarillo

The Aji Challuaruro Amarillo is an ancient Peruvian variety of Capsicum baccatum, renowned for its spectacular color and intense fruity flavor. Originating from the Andean valleys, this chili is part of the traditional culinary heritage of southern Peru, where it is still cultivated by hand. Its fruits have an elongated and slightly twisted shape, with thin, glossy skin. They ripen from pale green to a vibrant orange-yellow, almost golden at maturity. Their flesh is aromatic and sweet, accompanied by a lively yet balanced heat. The Aji Challuaruro Amarillo stands out for its high productivity and uniform ripening. Its stability and vigor make it a reliable and remarkable variety, highly prized by baccatum collectors.
