Munduate Piparra – Roasted Piquillo Peppers 410g

Munduate's piquillos are roasted and peeled by hand in the Basque Country, a process that takes patience and skill. These small, sweet peppers arrive tender and smoky, ready to eat straight from the jar or to anchor a dish. At 410 grams, this is a jar built for cooking — stuff them with cheese and bake, slice them into a salad, or serve them as part of a Spanish cheese board.

About this product

Piquillo peppers grow in the Lodosa region of Navarre, where cool mountain air and careful cultivation create their natural sweetness. Each pepper is flame-roasted to blister the skin, then peeled by hand. The result is tender flesh with a gentle smoke and no bitterness. Munduate has been making conservas in the Basque region since 1952, bringing the same straightforward approach to every jar: good peppers, proper technique, nothing unnecessary.

How to enjoy

• Stuff with a soft cheese (ricotta, goat, or Basque txuleta) and bake until warmed through.
• Slice and toss into a warm lentil salad with sherry vinegar and olive oil.
• Layer into a Spanish tortilla for color and sweetness.
• Serve chilled alongside cured meats and manchego cheese at a tapas gathering.
• Chop finely and fold into mayonnaise or crème fraîche for a roasted pepper dip.

⭐ Why we love this

These piquillos represent the Basque commitment to artisanal food craft—hand-peeled peppers with no shortcuts, just flame, skill, and patience since 1952. Their natural sweetness and delicate smoke make them far more nuanced than mass-produced versions, whether eaten straight from the jar or transformed into a dish.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these alongside a crisp Txakoli from the Basque region, or pair with a dry Amontillado sherry for a traditional Spanish aperitif. Their subtle sweetness also complements a light Albariño, making them perfect for tapas with chorizo, jamón, and aged Idiazabal cheese.

📍 From Spain

Grown in the Lodosa region of Navarre in the Basque Country, these peppers thrive in cool mountain conditions that concentrate their natural sweetness.
