Rosara Guindilla Peppers are slender, tangy green peppers from the Basque Country, preserved in vinegar and packed with character. These traditional “piparras” are mild in heat but bold in flavour, offering a clean acidity and crisp bite that makes them a beloved staple in northern Spanish cuisine. Handpicked at peak ripeness and preserved by Rosara with the same care they apply to all their artisanal products, these guindillas are the ultimate accent for pintxos, cured meats, or conservas.
Their briny sharpness balances rich foods like jamón Ibérico, anchovies, or cheese, and they’re also perfect for skewering into Gilda-style tapas. With no artificial preservatives or colouring, just clean, honest flavour, Rosara Guindilla Peppers are an easy way to add Spanish flair to any board or plate.
