Imagine... a sweet, slighly piquant red pepper unlike anything you've tasted before... It's a Piquillo Pepper, only from the Ebro River Valley, in Northern Spain.

There, in a centuries-old tradition, Piquillos are hand-picked and slow-roasted over open wood fires.

Along the way, they acquire a flavor so complex, so rich and teasingly spicy-sweet, that they have become the most sought-after sweet red pepper in the culinary world.
  To the discerning professional chefs that create with them, Piquillos are at once bold and subtle, the defining ingredient in dishes ranging from soups, salads and sides to main courses. 
Piquillos are convenient. Packed whole and ready to serve right from the package, there is no need to select, peel or roast them... that has been done by the Piquillo pepper artisans. And because every Piquillo Pepper is uniform in shape, color and texture, there are no wasted peppers in the package. That makes Piquillos true value, too.
Pure Piquillos have been produced for generations almost entirely by hand, using no chemicals in the washing, roasting and peeling process. Piquillo Peppers imported to the US carry an exclusive seal of authenticity, granted only to those peppers that have been hand-picked in the Ribera del Ebro region of Northern Spain.
This seal is your assurance that the peppers bearing this mark are authentic sweet red Piquillo Peppers from Spain... the world finest.
