Description
Chilli Name: PELLEGRINO
Chilli Species: Capsicum annuum
Chilli Origin: Italy
Chilli Heat: Hot
Pellegrino is a Capsicum annuum chilli offered and classified by Fatalii Seeds as a hot chilli variety, grown for both flavour and heat. It is not a sweet pepper and is intended for culinary use where heat is required. The variety performs well in containers and controlled environments.
Pods are long, narrow, and tapered with a smooth surface. They ripen from green to red when fully mature. The walls are relatively thin, making the pods suitable for drying and powder production as well as fresh use.
Flavour is described as clean and well-balanced, with a sharp, direct heat rather than lingering burn. No official Scoville Heat Unit figure is published for this variety. Based on its classification and use, it sits within the Hot heat category.
Plants are compact to medium in size and are suitable for pot growing. Pellegrino is a productive plant that sets pods reliably, making it appropriate for growers with limited space as well as greenhouse cultivation.
This variety is presented by Fatalii Seeds as an Italian-origin chilli intended for practical kitchen use, including fresh cooking and drying. No breeder attribution or historical background beyond its regional association is documented.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
