Imaz Basque Guindilla Peppers

Description

Imaz Basque Guindillas are a true staple of Basque gastronomy, prized for their delicate heat, bright acidity, and unmistakable freshness. Grown in the fertile fields around Ibarra, these slender green chillies are harvested at peak maturity and preserved simply in vinegar and salt, allowing their natural character to shine.

Unlike hotter chilli varieties, Basque guindillas are gently warming rather than fiery, offering a crisp bite with subtle tang and vegetal sweetness. This balance makes them incredibly versatile and a classic accompaniment to many traditional dishes. They are best known as an essential ingredient in Gilda pintxos, paired with anchovies and olives, but they are equally delicious served alongside cured meats, grilled fish, cheeses, or tucked into sandwiches and salads.

Imaz carefully selects and prepares their guindillas using time-honoured methods, ensuring consistent quality, vibrant colour, and a clean, refreshing flavour in every jar. The result is a beautifully textured pepper with just enough sharpness to cut through rich foods and elevate simple dishes.

A must-have for tapas bars, delis, and home cooks alike, Imaz Basque Guindillas bring an authentic taste of the Basque Country to the table.
