Keep your fresh Aji Amarillo chili peppers in the fridge or a cool, dark spot like a pantry, cellar, or shed. The ideal temperature is between 10°C and 13°C; this will keep them fresh for the longest, about 7 to 14 days. You can also freeze these peppers! Click here for more info on freezing chili peppers or other ways to keep them fresh for a long time.

During the summer season (June-November), we grow this product in our own greenhouses in the Netherlands. In the winter season (January-April), our own growers in Spain cultivate this product.

The Aji Amarillo takes longer to change from green to orange compared to other peppers, which means this pepper is limited or unavailable during November, December, April, and May.
