The maker
"I founded Capsicana because I absolutely love the vibrant & fresh flavours of Latin American food. The Capsicana range of kits, seasonings, pastes, sauces, and sides is inspired by dishes of the region, from Mexican Fajitas to Brazilian Curries and Argentinian Steaks drizzled with Chimichurri. I love the many different varieties of chillies that we use, including chipotle, ancho, jalapeno and habanero. Chillies are not just about heat... they're also sweet, earthy, and fruity.
