The Story of Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich
The tastiest extreme class chile pepper.
The story of Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich starts in early 2006 when I got the first seeds for this variety,
which still is one of the most scared chile peppers in the world.It has also gained very good reputation because of it’s fantastic aroma.
Origin
Naga Morich originates from Nagaland, a state in north-eastern part of India.

Locals respect Naga Morich pods much more than western people do.
Why is that, you might ask? Because they are already familiar with that variety.
They learned from their mistakes as we are still learning…
The classic Fatalii Gourmet “Naga face” was created from this picture.
This picture was taken in a real life situation, meaning that this dude actually ate Naga Morich in a very hot and humid greenhouse.
This was one of the little things that drove our company into direction of always using authentic situations and things without any compromises.
We like to do only real things and things that we dare to call our own.
Anyways, this was the history of the Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich -face. And a small, but important part of the Fatalii Gourmet ideology and history.
Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich breeding starts…
I started the seeds the same year and was very excited to see and taste the results.
After the plants started producing the first pods, I started tasting them when they were still immature.
It was immediately clear to me that this was definitely one of the hottest and the best tasting chile peppers available.
First naga pods.
During the next years I started breeding the Naga and selected the tastiest and the hottest pods every season to make sure it would get better as the time goes by.
Now, after breeding Naga Morich for several years, the results were clear, it had improved a lot since I first tasted it.

Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich – The iron fist in a silk glove:
The taste has so much more body, sweetness and even so much more the powerful, classic aroma of the original Naga Morich.
The original Naga Morich was quite good already and it gave a good base to develop both, the taste and heat level.
I knew that the taste could be enhanced greatly by breeding to make it much aromatic.
The profile of the heat needed some developing too, so we chose the pods with the most delay with the heat level.
By splitting Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich pod and smelling the pod you can immediately tell that the taste will be absolutely great, no doubt about it.
The fruitful aroma makes your mouth water and you want to dig your teeth into the scorching pod immediately.
It will surely be horrible mistake as you realize after the heat level has risen.
Clients, (which are food-industry professionals here in Finland) are with us in the greenhouse tasting the bred Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich.
As you can see, sometimes their great taste makes you taste too much at once!
Indeed, one of the great qualities of the Naga Morich is the delay with the heat. We have been improving that factor a lot all these years. Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich, besides it’s absolutely full, fruity delicious taste, has a heat profile which starts very subtly and raises and raises until it’s a hell in your mouth. It all happens little by little which makes it comfy even it’s a hellish ride in the end.

Chile peppers will generally give you a rush after the endorphins kick in.
This natural “high” makes you feel absolutely great after the heat dissolves, when only the endorphins are kicking in.
This is very clear with Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich because the heat level raises gradually and doesn’t feel as nearly as uncomfortable as many other extremely hot chile pepper varieties. With Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich this endorphin rush will be very strong.
I wouldn’t recommend driving cars or flying a plane after eating Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich.
Even though it makes you feel “comfortably numb”, a good thing to remember is very natural thing that is caused by endorphins.
Same effect you would get after a long run or other athletic performance.
And the intense burn before this “buzz” is the price you have to pay.
After the tolerance for the Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich gets better, you still get the great feeling after eating all those hot foods.
All these properties do make the Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich stand out from other super hot varieties. Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich is perfect for all kinds of cooking and it’s ideal as ingredient for food industry, as many of our affiliates have noted already.

One of the great things about Fatalii Gourmet Naga Morich is the versatility. Nagas picked green, just before ripening have totally different taste and heat level. The taste is very sharp, more fresh and less sweet than the red, mature version. The heat level is also completely different, it hits immediately, like a hot knife in your tongue, almost like completely different chile pepper!
