A rare Maya variety grown high in the mountains surrounding Cobán, Guatemala, our Cobanero Chili delivers bold, smoky heat wrapped in a surprisingly lush, fruity aroma.
Its flavor unfolds in layers. Sweet and peach-like at first, then gently smoky, finishing with a bright, assertive spice. It is hotter than a serrano and comparable to cayenne, bringing serious warmth without overpowering the dish.
For those who love true chili character, this one is unforgettable.
