Potent sweetness. Crimson red. Flamed then hand peeled & packed. Super versatile. 

Brought back to Spain from the Americas by returning conquistadores, these small red peppers are a very mild variety of chili. Grown in the Lodosa DOP area in Navarra these piquillo peppers are roasted whole and then peeled by hand.

The peppers are a deep scarlet and their flavour is intense, sweet and mildly piquant.

A 1-star Great Taste Awards winner in 2025

Note from the judges:

"These are attractive piquillo peppers and taste natural. The peppers are meaty and firm. They are sweet and the judges like the large pieces. They would be a great store cupboard ingredient."
