✨ Aji Oro Rocoto – The Golden Jewel of the Andes, with Black Seeds
The Aji Oro Rocoto is a rare variety of the Capsicum pubescens species, coming straight from the high altitudes of the Andes. This plant produces round-shaped fruits with a vibrant golden-yellow colour and a surprising interior: black seeds, a distinctive and fascinating feature of this uncommon species.
The flavour is fruity, fresh, and slightly citrusy, with moderate to strong heat that builds gradually and lingers. A pepper that combines beauty, flavour, and intensity in a single plant.
The leaves have a soft fuzz, and the flowers are purple — another typical trait of Rocotos. The plant is perennial (if protected from extreme cold), hardy, and highly productive, making it ideal for large pots or direct soil cultivation.
🌶️ Heat level:
Around 80,000 SHU – just the right amount of heat, with Andean character.
👉 Ideal for:
- Rich, aromatic sauces
- Stuffed dishes in Peruvian style
- Grilled and roasted recipes
- Growers looking for hot and exotic peppers
The Aji Oro Rocoto is also known for its cold resistance, making it an excellent choice for regions with shorter summers or cool nights.
📦 Available at picantes.pt – fresh, selected seeds with a high germination rate.
🌶️ Grow. Delight. Burn with elegance.
