Pimiento Piquillo - Piquillo peppers in their own juice/ 12/18, El Carrascal

Jose Luis` small family business cultivates 25 hectares of land in the heart of Extremadura, growing vegetables of exceptional quality without the use of chemicals or pesticides. The family invests considerable effort in cultivating the fields, resulting in high-quality soil that ensures a superior harvest. The pimientos are harvested by hand between the end of August and mid-November. Each pod undergoes a quality control check both in the field and during processing at the El Carrascal factory. This double inspection ensures that only the finest pimientos are used. The pods are then briefly roasted in a small, handcrafted oven (80cm diameter) and subsequently peeled by hand with great expertise and passion. 100% handmade and traditional! The tins contain 12-18 pimientos, preserved in their own juice. The Piquillo pimientos are delicate, mild, and characterized by a subtle sweetness. Their light, delicate smoky flavor gives them a special and delicious taste. Ideal as a tapa, seasoned with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. These pimientos are also excellent for stuffing, for example with minced meat or salt cod. A vibrant red delight, a must-have for piquillo pepper lovers!
