Once again it was Christopher Columbus who would have brought back to Spain this very small chilli pepper after his first trip to American soil. Over time it has become an indispensable spice in our kitchens. It is used not only to give body to pastries but also in savory dishes such as tomato soup, red meats and seafood. Finally, it is one of the ingredients of the 5 Pepper Mix and the famous Jamaican Jerk.
