Description
The Dorset Naga is a superhot pepper developed in the English county of Dorset from a Naga Morich strain brought from Bangladesh, and was once among the world's hottest verified peppers. Its rough, wrinkled pods ripen to bright red with a complex fruity, floral heat that builds slowly and lingers on the palate. Despite its punishing intensity, its distinctive tropical fruitiness makes it highly sought after by hot sauce makers and chili connoisseurs.
