Description
Chilli Name: TOPITO CHEESE
Chilli Species: Annuum
Chilli Origin: USA
Chilli Heat: Sweet
Topito Cheese is a sweet variety of Capsicum annuum, developed in the USA and known for its small, globe-shaped fruits with a thick, juicy flesh. The peppers mature from green to bright red and are about the size of a tomato, with a squat, slightly ribbed appearance reminiscent of traditional pimento or “cheese” peppers. Despite the name, there is no heat in this variety — it’s grown purely for flavour, texture, and culinary use. Ideal for stuffing, roasting, or pickling, Topito Cheese is popular among growers looking for a compact, early-maturing plant with high yields and visual appeal. While it shares similarities with Tennessee Cheese, it is a separate cultivar with its own regional history and seedline.
