Why You’ll Love This

Piquillo peppers make an ordinary appetizer or sandwich feel unmistakably Spanish. Their silky texture, natural sweetness, and gentle smoky edge are flavorful enough to serve straight from the jar yet versatile enough for cooking.

What Makes It Special

Matiz selects piquillo peppers from the Lodosa region of northern Spain, where they are traditionally fire-roasted. The peppers are packed simply with salt and citric acid so their distinctive flavor remains the focus.

Perfect Pairings

Pair with bonito tuna, anchovies, goat cheese, Manchego, crab, garlic, eggs, grilled meats, or a bright Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Serving Ideas

Stuff with tuna salad or soft cheese, slice into a tortilla española, layer onto crostini, purée into a sauce, or warm gently with garlic and olive oil for an easy tapa.
