The Satan's Kiss is a traditional Heirloom variety originating from Southern Italy, specifically from Calabria. It is classified as Capsicum annuum. Its Italian name, Ciliegia Piccante (Spicy Cherry), perfectly describes its round appearance.
Heat Level (Moderate): The heat is moderate and perfectly controllable, making it ideal for gastronomy. Its pungency typically lies between 40,000 to 50,000 Scoville Units (SHU), roughly equivalent to Cayenne pepper.
Sweet and Citrus Flavor: It has a characteristically sweet and fruity flavor, with slightly citrusy notes. Its pulp is thick and fleshy, which makes it excellent for stuffing and roasting.
Characteristics: The fruits are round, the size of a small golf ball or a large cherry, and ripen from green to a bright and shiny red. The plant is compact and known to be extremely productive.
Culinary Use: Its most traditional and famous use in Italy is being stuffed. It is typically filled with mozzarella cheese or anchovies and then grilled or roasted. It is also perfect for preserves in olive oil.
