Description

The Ciliegia Rosso is an Italian favorite, famous for its small, round, cherry-shaped fruits. These peppers are thick-walled and incredibly meaty, making them the absolute best variety for pickling or stuffing with goat cheese, herbs, or tuna. While they are classified as spicy, their heat is pleasant and sweet rather than overwhelming, making them approachable for most palates.
