Imaz Basque Guindilla peppers are a true staple of Basque gastronomy, prized for their delicate heat, bright acidity, and unmistakable freshness. Grown in the fertile fields around Ibarra, these slender green chillies are harvested at peak maturity and preserved simply in vinegar and salt, allowing their natural character to shine. Unlike hotter chilli varieties, Basque guindilla peppers are gently warming rather than fiery, offering a crisp bite with subtle tang and vegetal sweetness. They are incredibly versatile and a classic accompaniment to many traditional dishes, such as Gilda pintxos, paired with anchovies and olives. They are also delicious served alongside cured meats, grilled fish, cheeses, or tucked into sandwiches and salads. Imaz carefully selects and prepares their guindillas using time-honoured methods, ensuring consistent quality, vibrant colour, and a clean, refreshing flavour in every jar.
