We first learned about the shiny amber coloured Costeno Amarillo chilli pepper when we tried a hot sauce that was sent to us. We couldn’t believe it when we smelt the aroma coming off the bottle as it is unlike anything we had had before and tasting it was even better.

It is great and rare when as an adult you can forget about the world and try something totally new, totally novel to your senses. This is what the Costeno Amarillo did to us the first time and still does to us. Is it the wonderful unique citrusy taste of it? It is the medium heat that keeps surprising us when we expect it the least?

All we know is that the Costeno Amarillo is a great chilli plant to have as it produces good crops of 2-3 inches long pods that are highly versatile although we tend to prefer using them in soups, salsas and tomato based stews.
