The ’Vezena piperka’ have a rich, sweet-hot (apparently very hot toward the top) flavour. A richly bearing, Capcisum annuum, which produces many large fruit of about 18-25cm in length. The horizontal striations are characteristic to this variety. Origin: Macedonia.
Rein Saat from Austria is selling seeds from a likewise variety from Kosovo, which is branded as ‘Elephant Pepperâ’.
“I have tasted feferoni, a hotter unnamed Macedonian pepper, hot Hungarian wax, and jalapenos. Rezha (Vezena piperka) are way hotter than any of these. Not habanero hot, but hotter than the midlevel peppers. They also have a strange slow creeping burn that starts out low and takes about 5 minutes to reach full force, targeting the sides of the tongue.†source
The texture is rough if these peppers are eaten fresh, but roasted they soften up and in addition to being very hot, they get extremely sweet. The texture of the skin is grainier than a smooth skinned variety, but not unpleasant.
NAME(S)
The common name for this pepper is 'Vezena piperka' (ENG=embroidered pepper) or short Vezeni which is plural of Vezena, and often used to express about Vezena pepperâ, without saying the word pepper. Rarely, so not much heard, these Macedonian peppers are also named Rezjena. The name refers to its visible characteristics, which are the typical horizontal striations covering the entire pod, like an ‘embroidered’ handicraft pepper.
Other (often local) names like Zjarena (or Zharena) exist due to the specific spiciness and hotness characteristic, as for example Zjarenas' translates to a coal or ember, referring to something glowing hot. Sweet(er) varieties from the same ‘Vezena piperkaâ’, that have the same horizontal striations, but will not ever be called Zjarena due to the lack of hotness.
