Sourcing
This brand-new pepper variety, also known as Gemelli Mazinna, is grown exclusively at Norwich Meadows Farm in New York, developed by breeders Michael Mazourek and Gregory Inzinna. Fine-tuned for sweetness and balance, these peppers are carefully dried and crushed into flakes that highlight their natural tomato-like qualities and clean, vibrant flavor.
Meet the Farmer: Norwich Meadows Farm owners Zaid and Haifa Kurdieh were among the first farmers in New York to start growing these incredible peppers. Zaid and Haifa have built their reputation among chefs by selecting crops for flavor and texture instead of yield.
Norwich Meadows Farm is a certified organic farm in Chenango County, NY, grounded in nourishment for our bodies and our environment. They are committed not only to growing exceptional food, but also to preserving and stewarding the agricultural land that they farm, through soil management and biodiversity (they grow over 1,300 varieties of plants on the 250-acre farm).
The Kurdiehs' commitment to biodiversity has also made Norwich Meadows Farm a favorite among many of New York's most popular chefs. Priya Krishna wrote a great piece for the New York Times describing Zaid's farm, his love of flavor and his unconventional farming techniques.
