Zébrange

Zébrange is certainly the most beautiful chili in the Semillas portfolio. It was developed by Laurent Minet at the Center Technique Horticole in Gembloux in Belgium. It’s a cross between Aji Fantasy and Christmas Bell pepper. In the Semillas production the variety was stable right from the start, and all plants showed the desired stripes. However, over the course of the first few years of sales, in discussions with Semillas’ customers, the team got to know that stripes development isn’t something set in stone. It can rather depend on local cultivation conditions. In the Semillas production itself, there were some pods with and some without stripes on the very same plant at different points in time during the season. In any case, it’s one of the most aromatic Capsicum baccatum v. pendulum at all. The flesh of these beautiful pods is aromatic and sweet. The heat (mild to medium) is mainly localized in the placental tissue. So Zébrange is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a real culinary highlight.
