The Datil pepper is an extremely hot pepper of the species Capsicum chinense, and is one of the hottest peppers in the world. However, in addition to simply being an exceptionally hot pepper, a Datil pepper has a distinctly smoked and fruity flavor. If you've never tried one, but like hot peppers, then this is a must taste item!

There is no real agreement on how the Datil peppers first arrived in Saint Augustine, but what is well established is that they have been grown almost exclusively in Saint Augustine for over 200 years. With that kind of history, you've got to believe it is a great tasting pepper.

NOTE: If you're a commercial grower of Datils or even a serious hobbyist, we are interested in talking to you about your crop surplus. Please look at THIS PAGE for more details.
