Chilli Name: VIEJO ARRUGA DULCE
Chilli Species: Annuum
Chilli Origin: Mexico
Chilli Heat: Sweet
Viejo Arruga Dulce is a heritage variety of Capsicum annuum, known for its deeply wrinkled, pleated pods and its rich, sweet flavour. The name translates from Spanish as “Old Wrinkled Sweet,” and reflects its traditional use in Latin American and Spanish-style cooking. The pods ripen to a deep red and carry no detectable heat, making them perfect for roasting or slow-cooked sauces. Its exact origin is uncertain but it's well rooted in Spanish-speaking agricultural traditions.
