Discover the authentic taste of Spain with Spanish Padrón Peppers, a traditional variety grown in the fertile regions of Galicia, particularly around the famous municipality of Padrón and the parish of Herbón. Renowned throughout Spanish cuisine, these small green peppers are celebrated for their delicate flavour, tender texture, and unique character.
Harvested while still young and green, Padrón peppers are typically mild and slightly sweet, making them a popular choice for tapas and Mediterranean cooking. True to tradition, however, the occasional pepper may deliver a surprising burst of heat, giving rise to the famous Spanish saying: “Some are hot and some are not.”
Perfect for simply frying in olive oil and sprinkling with sea salt, Padrón peppers are also a versatile addition to salads, grilled dishes, tapas platters, and vegetable-based recipes. Their fresh flavour and distinctive appearance make them a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.
