Description and Uses

This Peruvian cultivar is from the seldom seen Baccatum sub-species of chiles.  ""Cereza" means cherry in Spanish and it's easy to see how it got that name:  dark maroon in color and round in shape, it has the appearance and size of a Bing cherry.  Curiously, it also has some cherry notes in it's flavor along with a winy tang. a great all  purpose chile for perking up soups and sauces.
