These red and green organic beauts are the most popular peppers used in the Western hemisphere. They're named after the city of Cayenne in French Guiana, where they originated, but go by other names like cow-horn pepper, Guinea pepper, or bird pepper.

Most commonly though they're found in powder form (cayenne pepper) and as that, are used to add spice to hot sauces. Our organic cayenne chillies aren't explosively spicy, so they're great in soups and sauces, on pizzas, as well as over meat and seafood, just to add a slight kick to proceedings. Keep some on the table in a shaker as an alternative to salt or pepper.

Producer

Our chillies come by way of what is now a third generation family business, originating in the fertile fields of Sicily. Two young boys, Francesco and Salvatore, followed in their fathers' footsteps over 50 years ago, and in 1977, their paths would cross in England, having come over with their parents 10 years earlier. The two bonded over their love of growing the best veg, in the Sicilian way, and joined forces buying the 28-acre Smallford. Francesco's son Sam and Salvatore's son Joe are now keeping their fathers' passion and tradition alive, growing the best tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers around in state-of-the-art greenhouses that keep things as sustainable as can be – recycling irrigation and roof water, and re-using the by-products from heating the glasshouse to enrich the plants' environment with CO2, important in plant growth. To top it off, all the tomato and pepper plants are pollinated by busy bees. Brilliant all round.
