Cheiro Creme

Cheiro Creme is a Capsicum chinense cultivar documented mainly through seed seller listings and described as originating from Brazil. It belongs to the same species group as habaneros and other aromatic hot chillies.

Pods are typically about 4.0 to 5.0 cm long and approximately 3.0 cm wide. Fruit ripen from light green to a creamy off-white colour. The smooth, pale mature colour distinguishes it visually from more common orange or red chinense types.

Heat is commonly reported between 60000 and 80000 SHU. A working value of 70000 SHU reflects the central range most often cited. There are no widely published independent laboratory tests specific to this named variety, and reported figures come from seller descriptions.

Flavour is described as lightly sweet and fruity, sometimes compared to apple-like notes, with typical chinense undertones. These descriptions are anecdotal and not based on formal sensory studies.

Plants are described as compact and bushy, commonly reaching around 60.0 to 70.0 cm in height and suitable for container growing. Formal breeding history, cultivar registration, and documented traditional agricultural records specific to this name are limited in accessible sources.

The name may cause confusion with the broader Brazilian term “pimenta de cheiro,” which refers to several aromatic chilli types. Cheiro Creme appears to be a distinct named cultivar within that broader group rather than a generic regional label.
