Faddas White

Faddas White is a modern Italian Capsicum chinense hybrid created by Giancarlo Fadda. Public breeder and seller descriptions consistently place it within Fadda’s manual-cross breeding work and tie it to ghost-pepper lineage, with the most repeated description identifying it as White Ghost x Ghost Jami Yaki, while breeder-linked discussion also describes it as a white colour variation selected out of Ghost Yaki Big Orange. In public grower circulation it was already documented by September 2019 at the F3 stage, which places the line in active selection by that point and shows that it emerged from the recent European hobby-breeding scene rather than from an older heirloom tradition.

The plant is generally described as low, bushy, and very productive, with heavy yields and a later fruiting habit in some climates. Grower-facing descriptions repeatedly present it as a strong-setting plant that carries large numbers of pods, and later retail descriptions also describe it as stable or near-stable after several generations of selection. Its foliage is green, with the visual emphasis placed more on the pod colour and shape than on dark foliage or ornamental leaves.

The pods are elongated and irregular, often described as zigzagged, bunched, or ghost-like in form, usually around 10.0 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. Sellers describe them as thick-walled to fairly fleshy, with an oily placenta and a distinctly pale mature colour that ranges from bright white to creamy white. The ripening pattern is consistently described as green to white, and strong light can sometimes bring slight violet tones to the fruit surface before full maturity. That stark white ripe stage is the defining visual trait of the variety and the main reason it became memorable in specialist seed lists.

Heat descriptions place Faddas White firmly in the superhot class. Published figures repeatedly sit around 700000 to 800000 SHU, while breeder-linked discussion states that its pungency can easily exceed 800000 SHU. Alongside the heat, seller and grower descriptions regularly mention a fruity, floral, citrus-leaning flavour with enough body to suit white hot sauces, salsas, pickling, and other preparations where the pale colour and ghost-style flavour can be carried through. In grower culture it is treated as both a serious superhot and a visually distinctive white ghost-type line associated closely with Giancarlo Fadda’s breeding work.
