The Finnish chili pepper producer Fatalii Gourmet, based in Kirkkonummi, has succeeded in creating probably the hottest chili pepper variety in the world to date. The new product is sold as a powder under the name Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw.
The new variety is based on the Capsicum chinense variety Moruga Scorpion, which currently holds the title of the world’s hottest chili pepper. Official ranking for the heat of the Jigsaw variety will be applied for in 2014, once it is ready to be measured. As it is, the new variety will require several generations before it becomes established.
The heat of chili peppers comes from capsaicin, a compound present mainly in the tissue holding the seeds and in the internal membranes of the fruit.
— Just by looking at the exceptional internal membrane of the new variety and the capsaicin that literally oozes from the inner surfaces you can tell that this really is a hot one, says Fatalii Gourmet’s chili pepper master Jukka Kilpinen.
Heat 11/10
Flavor 6/10
