El Navarrico “Guindillas” Pickled Guindilla Peppers, 300g

El Navarrico Guindillas are a classic taste of northern Spain: long, slender green peppers preserved in vinegar to create a wonderfully crisp, tangy and gently piquant addition to the table. Particularly associated with the Basque Country and Navarra, guindillas are an essential part of the region’s pintxo and aperitivo culture.

These peppers are prized not for overwhelming heat, but for their balance. They have a fresh vegetal character, lively acidity and a subtle chilli kick that makes them remarkably easy to eat. Their vinegary sharpness is especially good alongside rich or fatty foods, cutting beautifully through cured meats, cheeses and oily fish.

Serve them straight from the jar alongside Jamón Ibérico, chorizo, Manchego and olives, or add them to a traditional Gilda—the iconic Basque pintxo combining a guindilla pepper with an anchovy and green olive on a skewer. That combination of salty, tangy and mildly spicy flavours is one of the simplest and greatest bites in Spanish food.

Guindillas are also excellent alongside grilled steak, tucked into sandwiches, chopped into salads or served with conservas and a cold glass of vermouth.

El Navarrico, based in Navarra, is renowned for preserving exceptional Spanish vegetables with an emphasis on quality and simplicity. These guindillas are a perfect example: crisp, vibrant and unmistakably Spanish.

Each jar reflects Rosara’s commitment to simplicity and craftsmanship. The chickpeas hold their shape beautifully while remaining soft and luxurious. The cooking liquid is a bonus. It is rich, savoury, and perfect for enriching soups, rice dishes, or stews. Because these legumes are so tender, they should be added to your dishes toward the end of cooking and handled gently.

Pochas are one of Navarra’s most treasured culinary ingredients and form the base of many traditional regional stews. Unlike dried beans, pochas are harvested while still young, which gives them a uniquely tender texture and a delicate, almost creamy flavour. Their colour varies naturally from pale green to soft white depending on their stage of maturity, a sign of authenticity and careful timing. The moment of harvest and the precision of the preparation process are key to achieving a superior product, and Rosara excels in both.

These pochas are cooked very gently to preserve their structure and natural sweetness. They are exceptionally soft, so the jar should be emptied with care, and the beans should be added to dishes at the end of cooking. The cooking liquid is also valuable. It is rich, lightly creamy, and ideal for thickening sauces or deepening the flavour of stews.

Rosara Pochas offer a beautiful way to bring authentic northern Spanish cooking into your home. Their mild flavour allows them to adapt to an impressive variety of dishes.

Serving Suggestions

• Prepare a classic pochas stew with roasted pork cuts such as jamón, panceta, chistorra, or chorizo.
• Cook gently with quail for a traditional Navarrese dish.
• Pair with seafood such as clams or monkfish for an elegant, lighter version.
• Combine with vegetables for a vegetarian stew full of texture and flavour.
• Use the broth to enrich your sauces or soups.

Rosara's eggplant hummus begins with roasted eggplant, allowing its natural sweetness and gentle smoky character to lead. A little tahini, lemon juice, Arbequina extra virgin olive oil and seasoning round out the flavour without crowding it. The result is a silky, savoury spread with a bright finish and a texture made for scooping, spreading and sharing. It has the warmth of a dish prepared for the table, tucked into a convenient 125 ml jar.

Serve it cool or at room temperature with warm pita, crisp breadsticks or toasted sourdough. Add carrot and cucumber batons, charred courgette or grilled peppers for colour and crunch. To dress it up for guests, spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, make a little well in the centre and finish with olive oil, chopped parsley and a dusting of sweet paprika. It can also become the base of a sandwich with roasted vegetables or a small mezze style plate with olives and almonds.

Serving & pairing

Try it beside a cold glass of Albariño or a lightly chilled Spanish rosé. Their freshness brings out the lemon and balances the roasted eggplant. For a non alcoholic pairing, sparkling water with lemon and a sprig of mint keeps the same bright, appetising mood. A small jar makes an easy addition to a larger tapas spread without requiring any cooking.

Product details

White asparagus is a quiet luxury of Navarra, and Rosara gives this classic the attention it deserves. The spears are made from fresh asparagus, carefully peeled and preserved while tender. Their pale colour, delicate sweetness and silky texture need very little embellishment. This is the 8 to 12 spear selection in a 580 ml jar, a distinct format from the smaller oval can already in the collection. Bring it to the table when you want a vegetable course that feels both effortless and special.

Drain the spears gently and let them come to room temperature before serving. Lay them in one layer on a platter, with a light vinaigrette of extra virgin olive oil and Sherry vinegar, or a little high quality mayonnaise on the side. Finely chopped egg, chives and a few capers add contrast without disguising their flavour. For a traditional Spanish starter, pair them with jamón and crusty bread; for dinner, place them beside grilled white fish or a roast chicken.

Serving & pairing

A fresh Verdejo or a dry Navarra rosé gives this delicate dish a graceful partner. Keep the dressing light and the wine crisp so the sweetness of the asparagus stays in focus. The 580 ml jar is particularly useful when several guests are sharing tapas or when asparagus is the centre of a composed salad.

Product details

Rosara lists asparagus, water, sugar, salt, citric acid and ascorbic acid as ingredients. The producer identifies this Navarra asparagus as a regional designation product and gluten free. Net weight is 530 g, with 325 g drained. Consult the jar for full label details and refrigerate leftovers after opening.

Rosara turns a simple chickpea salad into a generous Spanish pantry dish. Tender chickpeas meet wood roasted piquillo peppers, tuna and green olives, all brought together with Arbequina extra virgin olive oil and a little Sherry vinegar. The combination is bright and savoury, with the soft texture of the chickpeas set against sweet pepper and the gentle salinity of tuna and olives. It is the sort of ready to serve jar that feels carefully prepared rather than hurried.

Made in Navarra, this 370 ml jar has the balance to stand on its own as a light lunch or become part of a larger tapas table. Spoon it into a shallow bowl and give the ingredients a gentle stir so the dressing coats every bite. Serve chilled or at room temperature. For a more substantial salad, add sliced red onion, ripe tomato, tender greens or a few pieces of avocado. A little chopped parsley and a drizzle of good olive oil make an elegant finish.

Serving & pairing

Set it beside grilled bread, a plate of jamón and a bowl of olives for an effortless aperitivo. It also works beautifully with a simply cooked white fish or alongside a tortilla española. Pour a crisp Albariño or Verdejo: freshness in the glass suits the Sherry vinegar and the sweetness of the piquillos without overwhelming the tuna.

Rosara's piquillo pepper mousse makes the character of a Spanish pepper feel exceptionally refined. The peppers are roasted over beech wood and peeled without water, preserving their sweet, rounded flavour and the suggestion of smoke from the fire. Blended with egg and cream, they become a soft, airy spread that is rich enough to anchor a canapé yet gentle enough to accompany delicate ingredients. The first impression is sweet piquillo; the finish is savoury, creamy and inviting.

Open this 125 ml jar for a tapas board and spread a little mousse onto warm toasted bread. Top with a thin ribbon of jamón, a flake of good tuna or a few chives. It is equally lovely spooned next to tortilla española, folded into a sandwich with Manchego, or served in a small dish alongside roasted vegetables. For a quick starter, fill crisp pastry cups with mousse and finish with a little olive oil and a tiny pinch of smoked paprika.

Serving & pairing

The mellow sweetness gives you room to play with a glass of chilled Garnacha rosé or a fresh, unoaked white from Spain. A dry fino Sherry makes another appetising aperitivo pairing with salty cured meats and the pepper's roasted notes. Let the mousse come close to room temperature before serving to appreciate its texture and aroma.
