Piquillo Peppers – ZONA
The Red Gold of Lodosa. From the heart of Navarra, in the quiet village of Lodosa, comes one of Spain's most legendary and treasured ingredients — the Piquillo Pepper. Earning its nickname through generations of Spanish culinary devotion, this small, brilliantly red pepper is a celebration of flavor, tradition, and the kind of craftsmanship that simply cannot be rushed or replicated.
The story is as remarkable as the flavor. Originally brought to Spain by Columbus, the humble chili was transformed over centuries by the unique Spanish soil and climate of Navarra into something entirely its own — smoky, sweet, gently tangy, and unmistakably piquillo. Every step of the production honors that heritage. Each pepper is picked whole at the precise peak of ripeness, fire-roasted to perfection over open flame, painstakingly hand-peeled, and then packed in its own natural juices to preserve every note of its rich, velvety character.
The result is a pepper that does things ordinary roasted peppers simply cannot. Its tender, soft-yet-substantial texture makes it the perfect vessel for stuffing — with savory meats, fresh fish, or creamy cheeses — creating one of the most beloved tapas dishes in all of Spanish cuisine. Chop it into a sandwich or salad and it adds a smoky-sweet brightness that transforms the entire dish. Slice and serve simply with good salt and olive oil for the most authentic Spanish tapa imaginable. Or blend it into a quick dip or sauce that tastes like it took hours.
Perfect for: Stuffed Piquillos with meat, fish, or cheese; tapas with olive oil and salt; sandwiches, salads, paella, pasta sauces, dips, sauces, charcuterie boards, and any recipe that deserves the smoky-sweet character of authentic Navarrese Piquillo peppers.
