Description

This selection represents the practical side of the Fatalii Chili Vault: a chili chosen not for shock value, but for how exceptionally well it performs in real cooking. Aji Rico is a refined Capsicum baccatum variety developed with balance in mind — steady heat, clean aroma, and a flavor profile that integrates effortlessly into food rather than overpowering it.

Unlike many baccatum varieties that lean heavily toward sharp citrus notes, Aji Rico is more rounded and composed. Its aroma is fresh and gently fruity, with a smooth, savory backbone that makes it unusually versatile. The heat level sits comfortably in the medium range, building gradually and fading cleanly, allowing the flavor to remain in focus throughout the dish.

Every 10 g package contains 100% premium dried chili flakes, grown and processed entirely in Finland. Pods are harvested at full maturity, prepared by hand, and dried slowly to preserve the essential aromatic oils that give Aji Rico its clarity and reliability in the kitchen. The result is a chili that behaves predictably and consistently — a quality highly valued by chefs and serious home cooks alike.

Aji Rico is especially well suited for everyday cooking where chili is meant to support the dish: sauces, soups, stews, vegetable dishes, grain bowls, and lighter meat or fish preparations. It adds warmth, aroma, and depth without dominating other ingredients.

This Vault selection proves that excellence does not always need to be extreme.
