These Piquillo Peppers are a true Spanish delicacy, carrying the coveted Denomination of Origin seal that guarantees their authenticity. These prized peppers are grown in the fertile Ribera del Ebro region of Northern Spain and are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness. Their name, “piquillo,” meaning “little beak,” refers to their distinctive pointed shape and delicate, sweet flavor.
These tender, fire-roasted peppers are traditionally peeled by hand, resulting in a silky texture and naturally bright red hue. Piquillos have a gentle sweetness with no heat, making them an incredibly versatile ingredient in both everyday and elevated dishes.
Perfect for charcuterie boards alongside Spanish classics like chorizo and Manchego, they also shine as a vibrant topping for paella or folded into tapas, salads, or sandwiches. Their mild flavor and soft texture make them an excellent complement to seafood, meats, or creamy cheeses.
