Silky-Sweet Peppers with Delicate Arbequina Oil
Exceptionally thin Crystal peppers from the Ebro Valley, roasted over beechwood, peeled by hand and cut into delicate strips.
Finished with Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, they offer a naturally sweet, non-spicy flavour for tapas, fish, meats and refined appetisers.
Crystal peppers take their name from their exceptionally thin and delicate flesh, which is said to resemble glass.
This highly regarded variety from the Ebro Valley is appreciated for its natural sweetness, fine texture and complete absence of heat.
The peppers are roasted over beechwood to develop a gentle roasted aroma while preserving their clean and naturally sweet flavour.
They are then carefully peeled by hand, a demanding process that protects their fragile texture.
After peeling, the peppers are cut into strips that are easy to portion and arrange.
Their soft, silky texture makes them particularly suited to tapas, composed starters and dishes where the pepper should remain clearly visible.
Arbequina extra virgin olive oil contributes a soft, fruity character without overpowering the delicate pepper.
The combination creates a balanced product with sweetness, gentle roasted notes and a smooth finish.
Serve on toasted bread with anchovies, bonito tuna, goat cheese or cured ham.
They also complement grilled cod, hake, roast chicken, pork, rice dishes, salads and warm vegetable plates.
Crystal peppers (92%), Arbequina extra virgin olive oil (7%), sugar, salt and acidifier (citric acid).
