Navarra, in the north of Spain, at the western end of the Pyrenees.
Type of product:
Piquillo peppers are a small red pepper with a little tail or “pico”.
Production:
They are hand-picked to ensure their perfect ripeness and shape. They are roasted, causing them to lose over 60% of their weight in liquid, and leaving them with a full intense flavour. They are then hand peeled and de-seeded. No chemicals are used during the cleaning or peeling process. The peppers are not rinsed before they are packed, leaving them with specks of black charred skin – one of the hallmarks of the hand-peeled piquillo. They are then packed in their own juices.
Taste Description:
Piquillos have an intense pepper flavour, which is initially sweet and then develops into a warm, spicy finish with a light, smoky taste.
