The DE LA CUEVA Organic Piparras from Ibarra are characterised by their thin skin and mild flavour, as they are barely spicy.
The secret of the quality of these piparras lies in:
SELECTION OF RAW MATERIAL
These delicious green chilli peppers have been grown in organic orchards near the town of Ibarra in the province of Gipuzkoa, where the special climate of the area, with cool, humid summers, favours the development of a variety of native chilli peppers that has not developed a spicy taste.
The organic piparras are harvested by hand at the end of August, when the size of the chilli peppers reaches between 8 and 12 centimetres and while they are still green, as if the chilli peppers were allowed to ripen too much and turn red they would become hot.
ARTISANAL PACKAGING
The fresh chilli peppers are taken daily to a small cooperative in the town of Ibarra where they are washed and then sorted by hand according to size, and any defective chilli peppers are removed.
The chilli peppers are then packed in glass jars with a very clear vinegar to preserve the product and give it an acidic flavour. The chillies are left to macerate in vinegar for at least 30 days before being marketed. During this period, the chilli will change from its initial intense green colour to a yellowish colour and its skin will soften.
THE RESULT
These chillies are ideal as an appetizer straight from the jar with a little oil and salt.
They are also perfect for making the famous "Gildas", a combination of olive, piparra and anchovy.
In the Basque Country and Navarre, piparras are also consumed to accompany spoon dishes such as beans, providing a very interesting contrast.
