Fresh Padron Peppers - Spanish Green Peppers, Hand Picked, Unique Taste, Horsal Cooperative Reviews

4.8 Rating 207 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Discover our fresh Padron peppers, handpicked weekly from Spain by Horsal Cooperative in Galicia. These beloved little green peppers are a popular tapa in Spanish bars and a favorite among locals and tourists. With a unique sweet, asparagus-like taste and a slightly salty exterior, Pimientos de Padron are both delicious and intriguing. Horsal uses traditional autoctonous seeds to grow their padron peppers, allowing for varying levels of capsaicin. Their motto, ‘unos pican, otros no’ translates to ‘some are spicy, some are not’. These peppers are best enjoyed simply cooked in a hot pan with olive oil and sea salt until wilted and soft, making them a versatile accompaniment to other dishes.

My peppers arrived as promised and were exactly as described. This is my third order from Basco. I have frozen or stored some items but everything I have eaten so far was delicious.

... and no, not one was piquante! but so nice to share a taste of Spain around the table and animate the conversation. These peppers were as fresh as if you'd bought them this morning at the market and really good quality. Maybe one day my eyes will start watering at the first bite, who knows?

I'm addicted to Basco's Padron Peppers. Flash fried with salt. Perfect tapas. On the odd occasions the supermarkets and discounters stock Padron Peppers I've swooped only to find them a pale shadow of these. The good news for Basco is I find lots of other things to buy to justify the delivery charge - which is reasonable but for a packet of peppers too self indulgent. And the delivery's always prompt and cheerful.
