El Navarrico Piquillo Peppers – Lodosa DOP Strips 200g

El Navarrico has been roasting and peeling Lodosa piquillo peppers by hand since 1960. These sweet, tender peppers are grown in the Navarre region and roasted over beechwood flames, then carefully peeled to reveal their delicate flesh. Packed in strips and ready to eat, they are a cornerstone of Spanish tapas culture and a time-saver for any kitchen that respects flavour.

About this product

Piquillo peppers from Lodosa carry a Protected Designation of Origin (DOP), meaning they are grown, harvested, and processed within a strictly defined region of Navarre. The beechwood roasting gives them a subtle smokiness and natural sweetness that distinguishes them from mass-produced alternatives. These are packed in strips, so there is no prep work — simply open the jar and serve.

How to enjoy

• Arrange on a plate with aged Manchego and jamón ibérico for a simple tapa
• Stuff with goat cheese, anchovy, or ground lamb for a warm appetizer
• Toss into a warm lentil salad with sherry vinegar and walnut oil
• Layer into a Spanish tortilla or frittata
• Scatter over grilled fish or chicken as a bright, sweet garnish

⭐ Why we love this

El Navarrico's hand-peeled Lodosa piquillos represent a living tradition: since 1960, they've roasted peppers over beechwood using the same artisanal method that defined this category. The DOP certification guarantees authenticity, but it's the subtle smokiness and natural candy-like sweetness that make these indispensable for authentic Spanish cooking—far superior to industrial alternatives.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these peppers with a crisp Albariño or a dry Fino sherry—the wine's acidity cuts through their natural sweetness beautifully. For a complete Spanish moment, arrange them alongside jamón ibérico and aged Manchego, then sip a chilled glass: this is the essence of Spanish aperitivo culture.

📍 From Spain

These peppers come exclusively from Lodosa in Navarre, a small Basque region where unique soil and climate conditions produce piquillos with unmatched sweetness and depth. El Navarrico's six-decade commitment to this single terroir—combined with beechwood roasting—has made Lodosa DOP the gold standard for piquillo peppers worldwide.
