"Trottolino pepper" is an Italian hot pepper, often sold as Trottolino Amoroso. It is known for its medium heat, sweet and fruity flavor, and a distinctive shape that resembles a spinning top. These peppers grow on bushy plants and ripen from green to red. 

The Trottolino Amoroso pepper, also known as Diavolicchio, has a Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating that varies widely, with sources listing it between \(500\) and \(20,000\) SHU. One source notes that it was once renamed in honor of the Diavolicchio pepper. While some reports indicate a very low heat level with fruity flavor, others describe it as a medium-hot pepper with a high SHU rating. 

Characteristics

Flavor and heat: The Trottolino Amoroso has a sweet, fruity flavor with some bitterness and is considered medium-hot.

Appearance: The peppers are upright, chubby, and conical in shape, with some varieties having dark purple markings as they mature.

Color: They start green and ripen to a bright red.

Growth: The plants are relatively small and bushy, with a long fruiting period.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
