Jamaican Bell: Exotic beauty from Jamaica

Unique bell shape and fruity aroma

The Jamaican Bell, a chili variety that enchants with its unusual bell shape and fruity aroma, originally comes from Brazil. This variety, also known as "Christmas Bell", stands out for its unique shape and bright red fruits, reminiscent of Christmas bells or bishop's hats. With a medium spiciness of level 5, the Jamaican Bell offers a perfect balance between spice and the taste of rhubarb, making it a special delicacy.

Compact growth and a Christmassy look

The Jamaican Bell is characterized by a strikingly bushy growth that can reach an impressive height of up to 1.5 meters under optimal conditions. This variety not only enchants with its unique, bell-shaped fruits, but also with the rich number of bright red chilies, which in their entirety are reminiscent of a festively decorated Christmas tree.

Versatile use in the kitchen

In addition to its decorative value, the Jamaican Bell is ideal for use in the kitchen. Its mild, fruity aroma with a note of rhubarb goes perfectly with fresh salads, cheese platters or as a creative addition to mixed pickles. The unique shape and colour of the chilies offer numerous opportunities to visually enhance dishes and enrich them in terms of taste.
