The History of this pepper

In 1521, the fanous explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailed thousands of leagues seeking the legendary Spice Islands. While the sun-drenched shores of the Philippines were to be his last destination, native spices there were bold and bountiful. There, the Bird's Eye red hot pepper, a small yet robust capsicum, was coveted for its pointed yet delicate heat. Magellan's hosts called the pepper "Labuyo".

Centuries have passed since Magellan's journey, yet pepper farmers at the foot of fiery Mayon Volcano still persist on legend, perfecting the combination of fierce sunlight, fertile soil, and meticulous care to cultivate labuyo to perfection.

Down south where labuyo grows wild in the valleys, plains, and rainforest fringes, Mama Sita's has planted its own pepper farm and harvests labuyo at its prime.
