Habanero Chilli

Habanero chilli is one of the hottest chillies in Mexico, with a distinctive fruity and floral aroma that sets it apart. It is essential to Yucatecan cooking, appearing in cochinita pibil, habanero ceviche, and tamulada salsa. Native to the Yucatán Peninsula, its intense heat is balanced by its unique fruity fragrance.
