Product Description

Grilling a Piquillo pepper adds an extra dimension of smoky flavor to the pepper’s delicate, thin, sweet flesh. More slender and cone-shaped than a bell pepper, the piquillo’s shape is the origin of its name, which means “little beak.”  That cone is a great place to put stuffing's, including chopped hard-boiled egg, small pasta or seasoned rice.

I've been buying DeLallo Grilled Piquillo Peppers for about six months now. All I can say is that if you don't have home roasted peppers on hand these grilled piquillo peppers will definitely fit the bill. These are the tastiest purchased grilled/roasted peppers that we have ever tasted and I think we are roasted pepper connoisseurs. This company also does sell a roasted piquillo pepper which for our taste is not quite as tasty as the grilled. Don't get me wrong, their roasted are also good, but the grilled are over the top. I do "roast" my own and the way I do them we as well as anyone who has ever tasted them go crazy for them. But again, if you need or would rather purchase cooked peppers the DeLallo Grilled Piquillo Pepper will not disappoint you. I usually purchase them at the store, however, when I checked the price of them online there was quite a savings at Amazon for a case of 12. The case arrived in good condition and the jars had an appropriate expiration date on them. No matter where you get them they are a little pricey, but someone grew and cared for these peppers, grilled, jared, labeled and shipped them. Allot went into these little jars. Whenever you see red peppers know that whoever grew them took care of them much longer to get them to the red stage rather than picking green. I make my own salad dressings and I do add the liquid from the jar to my dressing. The liquid is flavored with the natural oil from the peppers and is delicious. Try them! You'll like them!

After Trader Joe's discontinued their piquillos I found Delallo peppers at Amazon, ordered them, and have been enjoying them ever since. Their appearance, flavor, and country of origin (Peru) is the same as TJ's brand, though the Delallo product may be a little more flavorful.

I was puzzled by the one negative review, which is a verbatim repeat of a critical review submitted a month earlier by the same writer for a different product -- the "roasted" piquillos. I wonder if the alleged "mold" was actually char marks from the grill, which is normal?

Anyway I received the 12-pack in good condition several days after ordering them, and am pleased with the quality of the product and the prompt, careful packing & shipping (no breakage).
