Whole Piquillo Pepper 410gr La Pasiega

Padrón peppers are small and elongated, about 2 to 4 inches, with a conical shape and a vibrant green color that turns red when ripe. Although they can be somewhat tasteless raw, their true charm is revealed when prepared. In Galicia, they have perfected the art of roasting and frying them, creating a bite that is a gastronomic experience, so appreciated that its production is protected by a Protected Geographical Indication.

The unique flavour of Padrón peppers is obtained through an artisanal process that highlights their natural sweetness with a hint of spiciness, making them irresistible. They are hand-harvested at their optimum point of ripeness, carefully washed and fried in olive oil until they reach perfection, where their skin wrinkles and the flavours intensify. What distinguishes these peppers is that their preparation does not involve industrial processes, thus preserving their authentic aroma and taste.

Pairing: Although their name may seem nice, once you try them, you will be speechless. You don't have to be Galician to appreciate this delicacy, whether as a tapa accompanied by coarse salt, in salads, stews, omelettes, or even stuffed with cheese or seafood. Each bite is a trip to the Galician coast, where tradition and flavour come together in an unrivalled experience.
