These whole peppers (no seeds or stems) are plump, rich, and perfect for stuffing or serving just like they are.

Piquillo peppers are grown in the North of Spain, in the region of Navarra. Their flavor is as vibrant as their color. The fresh peppers are hand-harvested in late fall and left to slow roast over an acorn fire for several days. The natural acorn smoke and slow heat caramelizes the sugar, locks in the natural juices, and makes for a truly unique Spanish delicacy. Add incredible new dimension of color and flavor to your cooking!
