The Red Cheese Pepper is a pimento-type pepper that originates from Spain. The red coloring from the pepper was used by cheese artisans to color their cheese. These plants grow to 45-61 cm (18-24") with a 45-51cm (18-20") foliage spread. Very early maturing, with sets of continuous high yields. Peppers hang like ornaments. They are slightly flattened and round, with a 5-7 cm (2-3") diameter.
