Chilli - Black Olive is a unique and visually striking variety of chili pepper, known for its dark, almost black skin and mild heat. The peppers start off green, gradually ripening to a deep, dark purple or black color, resembling the appearance of olives. Despite its unusual color, this variety offers a mild to moderate level of heat, making it suitable for those who prefer a flavorful pepper with less intensity. Ideal for pickling, roasting, or adding a subtle spicy kick to various dishes, Black Olive chilies are as beautiful as they are versatile.
