Chilli-Centric Advent Calendars

The Sous Chef's Big Chilli Advent Calendar Spotlights a Spicy Food

— November 25, 2017 — Lifestyle
Over the past few years there have been hundreds of new advent calendars created specifically for foodies, but The Big Chilli Advent Calendar from Sous Chef focuses solely on one ingredient rather than offering many to be sampled.

The chilli-themed advent calendar promises to take people on a trip around the world through taste as they discover the smoky Mexican chipotle, the Indian bhut jolokhia and the sweet prik chee fah from Thailand. The countdown to Christmas also includes varieties from the United States, Spain, Taiwan and more. One of the chilli peppers included is a whole Carolina Reaper, also known as the hottest chilli in the world.

As well as being able to learn about 24 different kinds of whole chillies, flakes and powders over the course of December, consumers will also have the chance to try out each one with a recipe if they feel they can handle the heat.

3. Extreme and Exotic Flavors - The inclusion of rare, hot, and exotic chili peppers in advent calendars provides a chance to cater to adventurous consumers looking for unique taste experiences.
Industry Implications
