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.

Hello Amanda, Thank you for contacting Basco Fine Foods and for your feedback, we take feedback very seriously and are eager to try and put this right. Were very sorry the peppers arrived to you not at the correct temperature, we work hard to ensure all our packages arrive at the optimum condition but on this occasion this has not happened. Please can you phone the office and ask for myself and will look to arrange you a refund or replacement delivery, I'm eager to get this sorted for you and would hate to think we have lost your future custom. Kind regards Miles 01937 845767

These are good, but cannot rate them as highly as Gernika peppers which are a better texture and flavour
