La Pastora Tear Drop Peppers, also known as Piquillo de Lágrima, are a gourmet delicacy from Spain celebrated for their unique teardrop shape and exquisite balance of sweetness and tang. These small, bright red peppers are handpicked at peak ripeness and carefully preserved to maintain their tender texture and vibrant flavour. Unlike spicy varieties, La Pastora Tear Drop Peppers are mild and fruity, offering a burst of natural sweetness that complements savoury dishes beautifully.
Their versatility makes them a chef’s secret weapon — perfect for adding colour and refinement to cheese boards, tapas, and charcuterie platters. They pair wonderfully with creamy cheeses like goat or Manchego, or can be used to brighten salads, seafood, and grilled meats. Their glossy finish and jewel-like appearance also make them a stunning garnish.
Produced by La Pastora, a Spanish company renowned for premium-quality conservas, these peppers embody the meticulous care and culinary heritage of Spain’s fertile growing regions. Whether served straight from the jar or gently warmed in olive oil, La Pastora Tear Drop Peppers elevate any dish with their harmonious sweetness, delicate acidity, and irresistible visual appeal — a small yet luxurious taste of authentic Spanish craftsmanship.
