Origin
Grown in the Netherlands, where carefully controlled growing conditions help produce fresh, vibrant chillies with excellent flavour and heat. Madame Jeanette is a distinctive chilli variety, traditionally associated with Surinamese and Caribbean cooking and recognised for its bright colour, fruity aroma, and fiery heat.
Why We Stock It
Our Dutch Madame Jeanette Chilli Peppers are carefully selected for their vibrant colour, fresh texture, and intensely aromatic flavour. They combine a fruity, almost tropical character with a powerful heat, making them a favourite for adding both depth and serious spice to dishes.
Best Used For
Perfect for hot sauces, marinades, curries, sambals, salsas, and spicy stews. They pair particularly well with chicken, seafood, rice, tropical fruits, and aromatic herbs and spices. Use them finely chopped for an even distribution of heat, or blend them into sauces for a more intense chilli flavour.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator and use within a week or two for the best flavour, texture, and freshness. Keep dry and avoid excess moisture, which can cause the chillies to deteriorate more quickly.
Care
Wash before use and remove the stalk as required. Chop, slice, or blend depending on the recipe. The seeds and inner membrane can contribute significantly to the heat, so remove them for a slightly milder result or leave them intact for maximum spice. Handle with care and wash hands thoroughly after preparation.
