Cow Killer Dark Pheno

The Scorching Elegance of Cow Killer Black Pheno

The Cow Killer Black Pheno, a fiery creation by Italian pepper breeder Drax Diego, is a brutal yet mesmerizing Capsicum chinense variety. This powerhouse hybrid, born from a cross between the iconic Neyde Pepper and the BBG7, combines striking aesthetics with ferocious heat that commands respect from even the most seasoned chili enthusiasts.

The plant boasts stunning dark foliage due to its rich anthocyanin expression, a trait mirrored in the pods. As they mature, the peppers transition from a dark, almost black hue to a fiery red (vermelho), creating a striking contrast. The coloration even extends to the calyx, amplifying the visual allure of this variety.

With a searing heat level estimated at 1,000,000+ SHU, the Cow Killer Black Pheno lives up to its name, delivering a fiery burn that lingers long after the first bite. Its flavor profile features hints of fruitiness beneath the heat, making it a perfect candidate for hot sauces and salsas that demand both visual appeal and intense spice.
