Culinary Chile Collection

— OUT OF SEASON — RETURNS SUMMER 2026 —

Culinary Chile Sampler

This curated collection celebrates some of the world’s most expressive peppers—varieties prized not for overwhelming heat, but for depth, fragrance, and true culinary character. Inspired by our years collaborating with Chef Victoria Blamey, whose cooking draws from her Chilean roots and global experience, this box highlights chiles used by chefs to build nuance, warmth, and dimension in their dishes.

Each sampler includes 4.5–5 lbs of peppers and a rotating selection of 5–8 different varieties, depending on season and availability. These chiles can be enjoyed fresh, roasted, fermented, or dehydrated into your own custom flakes and powders. Most lean toward gentle or medium heat, allowing their natural flavors to shine.
