Pepperdew Piquanté Peppers (forum)

FayesGarden starts with ...
Interested in growing pepperdew peppers. Does anyone on forum grow them? From what's on internet the sweet piquanté pepper is a cultivar of Capsicum baccatum grown in the Limpopo province of South Africa. It has a pleasantly sharp and appetising-flavour; spicy, peppery and hot, but not to hot, mainly a sweet flavor with a mild spice level. They're often used as a topping, condiment, or ingredient in dishes like pizza, salads, eggs or sandwiches.

Apparently Peppadew is the trademark name for sweet piquanté peppers that are pickled and bottled by South African company Peppadew International Ltd.

While piquante peppers originated in South America, they ended up in South Africa, where a grower began to pickle and sell the peppers under the brand name Peppadew in the 1990s

I have grown a few Capsicum baccatum in the past, a lot had very mild outer walls but hot around the core. Seems similar to your description. Manzano and Rocoto types. I would start by finding seed of the ones online in Australia. The plants live for many years, and should be happy in Atherton.
