Piquillo Peppers

Piquillo peppers are a small tangy pepper, native to the rural village of Lodosa in Navarra. Often referred to as the red gold of Lodosa. Picked whole and fire-roasted, hand-peeled and packed in their own juices.  Brought to Spain by Christopher Columbus, once planted in Spain, developed their own characteristics, and turned into a native Spanish variety.
