Birds Eye Chilli

Malawi is the traditional home of the African Birds Eye Chilli. Locally known as Piri Piri, it is noted for its flavour as well as its heat. The chilli is regarded as hot with average Scoville Heat Units measuring in the mid to upper hundreds (100-175,000). Jacoma, through its subsidiary Tropha Estates, works closely with smallholder farmers to grow the chilli, and maintain the required level of quality. By doing so it maintains Malawi and Jacoma’s reputation in the global market place. The product is exported to Europe, Asia, Southern Africa and the USA, for use within the food industry as a powder as well as within sauces and marinades.
