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

4.8 Rating 214 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.

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.
