Rosara Confit Piquillo Pepper Jar (145 ml) is a gourmet Spanish delicacy crafted with care and tradition. These piquillo peppers are sourced from the Lodosa region in Navarra, renowned for its exceptional produce. Each pepper is fire-roasted over wood to enhance its natural sweetness and impart a delicate smoky aroma. After roasting, they are hand-peeled—never washed—so their full flavor and texture are preserved.

Once prepared, the peppers are gently confited in a blend of whole cane sugar and red wine, resulting in a tender, glossy pepper with a rich, sweet-savory balance. This artisanal process gives them an intense flavor profile with a soft, velvety finish and only 0.4% fat, making them a surprisingly light yet indulgent treat.

Their versatility shines in both savory and sweet pairings. Serve them alongside grilled meats or fish, add them to tapas spreads, or elevate your cheese boards. They also pair wonderfully with foie gras or salads, and for the adventurous palate, they make an unexpected and elegant topping for cheesecake or curd.

Each 145 ml jar contains about 125 grams of confited peppers. Once opened, they should be refrigerated and enjoyed within a few days to preserve their exceptional quality.
