PowerJuice Cyprus
We’re excited to be the first to announce that fresh and dried Carolina Reaper Peppers are ready to be grown in Cyprus. So get ready to meet the king of heat, and trust me, they’re not for the faint-hearted. But, in Cyprus, these super hot peppers will also be blended with extra virgin olive oil to create ‘PowerJuice’, so I caught up with owner and pioneer Vasillies of Larnaca Park & Fly fame to find out more …
Love it Spicy
A man of my heart, Vassilis, told me, “I love my food hot and spicy, and as a graduate in medical law, it’s been my ambition to introduce medical herbs to Cyprus. So I gave up my career in law to pursue my dreams, my passions, my hobbies”.
Carolina Reaper Peppers
Vassilis continued, “These peppers are known as one of the hottest peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper isn’t just about extreme heat; it also delivers a surprisingly complex flavour with fruity, slightly sweet notes that make it a favourite among chilli lovers, sauce makers, and daring home cooks. Originally Asian, they are normally grown in the USA. This is the first time they’ll be cultivated in Cyprus, in our pepper field on the coastline of Meneou in Larnaca, where they will be carefully grown, totally organically and finally, hand harvested. Then they’ll be available both fresh for peak intensity and dried for long-lasting, concentrated fire”.
Off the Radar
Beyond the searing heat that averages 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units, with some dried forms reaching up to 2.5 million Scoville Heat Units, the dried Carolina Reaper has a surprisingly nuanced taste.
Flavour Profile
Fruity and Sweet, with hints of cherry, red apple, and peach are often detected, giving it a unique taste among super-hot peppers. They’re also Smoky and Earthy, with a subtle smokiness and earthy undertone present, especially in the dried form.
Floral
When ground, they release a potent, floral fragrance. This combination of flavour and fire makes them versatile for use in hot sauces, chilli powders, spice blends, and infused oils.
Applications
Whether you’re crafting hot sauces, spicing up rubs, or pushing your culinary limits, these peppers are designed to take your creations to the next level. A little goes a long way, but the flavour payoff is huge… I have to say ‘I can’t wait to try the Basturma’ …
Unique
Vassilies said that once they are harvested, blending them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Our Olive Oil is from the King of Olives in Cyprus a company with 40 years in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Business, who will create our PowerJuice, the hottest olive oil in the world! … Now, they are only going to make a limited edition of 500 bottles of 250ml for the first year at €60 per bottle … They do not “expire” in a safety sense but gradually lose their potency and flavour over time; when stored properly, they remain at peak quality for 1-2 years.
The Mission
Vassillies closed by telling me, “We’re passionate about the science of juice. We cater to diabetics, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and bodybuilders alike.
