The Hungarian farm that grows the world’s hottest as well as most expensive chillies

The award-winning family business in eastern Hungary produces a wide range of handcrafted products, by also using some of the world’s hottest and most expensive types of chilli, writes Origo.

ChillER Manufaktúra is based in Báránd, Hajdú-Bihar County, in eastern Hungary, and it was established as a family business in 2017. Since then, the products of ChillER have won several awards around the world: one of their latest successes were achieved

at the American Artisan Flave Awards, where their chilli-flavoured honey (Fusion Honey) was awarded a gold medal, and their Don Papa Sauce was selected the third-best in the Steak Sauce category.

The company produces a wide range of handcrafted chilli products, including hot sauces, barbecue sauces, olive oil, honey, and chocolate, all of which are available in their webshop.

ChillER grows several different types of chilli, including the famous Carolina Reaper, which was originally developed in South Carolina, and in 2013, it was declared by the Guinness World Records as the hottest chilli in the world. The highest heat level ever measured for a Carolina Reaper pepper was 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
