La Catedral de Navarra Red Sweet Piquillo Peppers are premium Spanish piquillo peppers from the Navarra region in Northern Spain, an area known for producing some of the finest preserved vegetables in the country. These peppers are traditionally grown, hand-harvested, and carefully prepared to preserve their natural sweetness and delicate texture.
Piquillo peppers are small, triangular red peppers that are known for their naturally sweet flavor and mild heat. After harvesting, they are typically fire-roasted, which enhances their flavor and gives them a subtle smoky note. The skins are then peeled by hand, and the peppers are packed to maintain their soft, tender texture.
These peppers are prized for their balance of sweetness and light smokiness, making them a staple in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine.
