Celorrio Piquillo Peppers Small Tin Reviews

4.6 Rating 9 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Celorrio piquillo peppers are a variety of chili pepper that has a sweet taste with no heat. The fruits are about 7cm long, well suited for growing in pots. They are traditionally grown in Northern Spain and its name is derived from the Spanish for little beak.

Typically, piquillo peppers are hand picked during two harvests between September and December. They are roasted over embers, which gives them a distinct sweet, spicy flavour. They are then peeled and de-seeded by hand, before being packed into jars or tins for sale.

Piquillo Peppers are often stuffed with meat, seafood, or cheese, and served as tapas.

Many peppers in a tin, sweet and beautifully prepared (full, not broken, so can bee stuffed properly)

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry it did not meet your expectations. We take all responses seriously. Sourcing of piquillo peppers from Spain can be difficult. Piquillos from Spain are very expensive hence we do not stock them and the Spanish themselves source them from Peru. We are always seeking to improve our stock lines so appreciate your time in writing the review.

Delicious, plenty of peppers in the tin. Sweet and perfect in both a salad or with the croquettas and jamon. Will buy again.
