Grower / producer

Sweet Palermo® dankt haar naam uiteraard aan de zoete smaak. Het subtiele zoetje zorgt dat de bijzondere puntpaprika een toegevoegde waarde heeft in veel verschillende gerechten. De dunne schil van de Sweet Palermo en het feit dat er bijna geen zaadjes inzitten, geven een extra positief effect aan de smaakbeleving.

It has taken many years of breeding, but the result was worth waiting for: Sweet Palermo. This unique and tasty pointed pepper is now within everyone’s reach thanks to the dedication of our Sweet Palermo Growers Group, all of whom are specially qualified to produce Sweet Palermo. 

Surprisingly Sweet

After one bite of the Sweet Palermo, consumers are hooked. The explanation lies in the science-based ‘brix values’ (numbers expressing the natural sugar content of a foodstuff). The Sweet Palermo achieves a brix of 9 (the sweetest regular blocky pepper has a maximum brix of 7) but with less than 40KCal per fruit. Combined with its rich aroma of fruits and fresh herbs, the Sweet Palermo scores highly in taste tests and contests. In 2012 the Sweet Palermo was chosen both by experts and the public as the ‘Best Dutch Pepper’!

Surprisingly Yellow

Recently the Sweet Palermo range has been extended by a yellow version. The yellow Sweet Palermo is as sweet as you would expect from Sweet Palermo and has the same characteristics as the red version.
