Espinaler “Piparras” Pickled chilli peppers

Piparras (or also called Guindillas in Spain) are a type of pickled chilli pepper. The flavour of a Guindilla pepper is slightly sweet and usually mild in heat. It has a soft crunch yet is tender with a thin skin. Piparras or guindillas are a Basque delicacy. Take a stroll through the North of Spain and you will be guaranteed to find Pintxos (which is Spanish treat usually served on a toothpick) with guindillas.  An iconic Basque favourite is the “Gilda”, which is a pintxo with an Olive, anchovy, and a guindilla pepper! Super delicious! Espinaler is an iconic establishment within the Catalan region. They are a century-old company specializing in gourmet tinned seafood, preserved vegetables, legumes, vermouth, chips, olives, and of course the famous Espinaler Sauce!
