Cabe Merah is a unique chili from from the island of Samosir located in the middle of the worlds largest volcanic crater. It is long, bright red with fresh cirtus tones and just a perfect match for Batak Pepper.

This chili has been cultivated to pair with the citrus tones in the Batak Pepper and works wonders in chili sauces, stir fries and curries with a lot of ctirus.

Limited batch!

This one was a bit spicier than 2023 harvesr. Remove the seeds for a sweet and milder flavor.

Wash before use.

We are so happy to present you with one of the most exciting chilies we have encountered yet – the Cabe Merah of Samosir island!

Grown in the volcanic soils of Samosir this chili is just something else. The island offers a distinct set of environmental factors that influence the cultivation of crops, including Cabe Merah.

First of the soil is very fertile and rich in minerals. Secondly the microclimate and altitude of the island provides a cooler and more varied climate that effect the robustness of the chili. Pair that with traditional farming practices that have selected seeds for the best possible flavor you have a chili with loads of tarty fruitiness and citrusy flavor, making it the perfect companion to one of favorite spices – Batak Pepper.

Ever since we tried these chilies we have wanted to distribute them and honestly use them for ourselves. The pairing with Batak Pepper is one of a kind and really brings out the best of what the region has to offer. Together with our partner Kiki we have experimented with some different processing techniques and (of course) ended up with the conclusion that processing the chili like Kikis mother, Heddy, always has done it the best method - Picking in the right season and drying them whole in the sun on big woven palm mats.
