Fresh Padron Peppers, Hand Picked from Spain, Sweet and Salty, Tapas Favorite Reviews

4.8 Rating 209 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Try our fresh padron peppers, hand picked every week and shipped from Spain. These famous little green peppers are served as a tapa in bars all over Spain and are an absolute favourite with holidaymakers and locals alike. We work with a cooperative specialising on the growing of traditional Spanish vegetables, in which padron pepper is their star product. With a unique sweet, almost asparagus-like taste and a salty outside, Pimientos de Padron are as delicious as they are popular. But beware of their motto: 'unos pican, otros no', which translates to 'some are spicy, some are not'. These peppers best suit simple cooking; just blister in a hot pan with a smudge of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of crunchy sea-salt until wilted and soft. They can be used as an accompaniment to other ingredients but shine best as a simple tapas on their own.

Arrived very wet in bags. Dried them out which saved about 25% of them. The rest were blackening & squishy. This was second order of the peppers; the first was fine.

My normal supplier was out of stock so I tried Basco Fine Foods which advertised pardon peppers in stock and I was very satisfied. They arrived promptly and were extremely well packed, separately wrapped in bubble wrap, enclosed in a polythene box with an ice strip to keep the contents cool and contained in an outer box. The peppers were fresh and the first pack tasted delicious so looking forward to the others. I was very impressed with this company and will definitely use them as my main supplier in future.

No tapas trip is complete without a salty mouthful of flash-fried Padron peppers. These arrived in first class quality and were speedily dispatched. If you want to add some colour, intensity and flavour of Spain to a tapas table, start here.
