Our iconic Roquito^® Chilli Pepper Pearls are bursting with hot & sweet flavour thanks to our signature Roquito^® brine. The pearls have a distinctive shape that add textural dimension and crunch to your dishes along with a fiery kick.

How are our signature Roquito® pearls grown?
Firstly, they are cultivated in temperate climates, where the optimal conditions for growth can be found.

The seeds are then germinated for 30 days before the seedlings are then transplanted to the final field for their vegetative growth. This nourishing period lasts around 90 days in which the plant grows and receives all the care it needs.

After flowering, our Roquito® pepper pearls begin to develop. Once reaching their optimum size the peppers begin to change colour. Passing through light green, orange until they reach their unique rich deep red colour.

The plant grows to about 20 inches tall with cascading branches full of fruit. Once the plant is ready for harvest, the Roquito® pepper pearls are hand collected, reaching between 25 and 30 tons per hectare. Our Roquito® range includes red and yellow Roquito® pepper pearls as well as indulgent hot honey, flaming candied jalapeños, sliced, diced, and Roquito® chilli sauce which add value to a variety of salad dishes, pizza toppings, pasta garnishes, and for bakery items.
