Description

Ciliegia Piccante, also called Satan’s Kiss, is a hot cherry chilli from Calabria. Small round fruits packed with heat and flavour. In southern Italy they stuff these with anchovies and capers, preserve them in olive oil, and serve them as antipasto.

Grow in a polytunnel or on a sunny south-facing windowsill for best results in Ireland. Compact plants that produce prolifically. Dry them, pickle them, or use them fresh. One plant gives you more chillies than a family can eat.

Chilli Pepper ‘Ciliegia Piccante’ (Capsicum annuum L.), also known as ‘Satan’s Kiss’ or ‘Bacio di Satana’, is a captivating heritage variety. This medium-hot cherry chilli produces perfect, round fruits about 2cm across. Its unique trait: it loses about 60% of its heat when cooked, transforming into a flavourful, stuffable pepper perfect for grilling with fillings like mozzarella and anchovies. This packet contains approximately 300 seeds.

🌱 Sow indoors in Spring. Requires warmth to germinate.
☀️ Needs full sun and heat. Best in a greenhouse or sunny, sheltered spot in Ireland.
💧 Water consistently but avoid overwatering.
📏 Produces abundant, round cherry chillies perfect for stuffing.
