Piquillo Pepper: The Red Gold of Navarre
The Piquillo Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a cornerstone of Spanish gastronomy, especially in the Navarre region. Known as the "Red Gold of Lodosa," its name "piquillo" (little beak) refers to its curved tip. It is world-renowned for its thick flesh and unique sweet-smoky flavor profile.
Intensity and Flavor Profile
The Piquillo is a mild to non-pungent pepper, focusing entirely on flavor. Its heat level is Mild, ranging from 0 to 500 Scoville Units (SHU). Its taste features sweet, tangy notes with a distinct smoky nuance, making it a gourmet favorite.
Culinary Use
Triangular in shape and deep red, its firm walls make it perfect for Stuffing (Rellenos) with cod, meat, or cheeses. It is an essential ingredient in Tapas and Pintxos, often served simply with olive oil and garlic, or used to add depth to Romesco sauces.
